What are some good books written in the form of journal entries?

The Sorrows of Young Werther
>>7333918
my diary, to be honest
>>7333924
"Sorrows" are written as letters to Werther's friend, not as a diary.
Meditations.
Anne Frank's journal
Doctor Glas
>>7333918
Drácula for several journals.
>>7333918
Dracula, Frankenstein

Seconded.
Also, The Dwarf by Lagerkvist if we're on Swedish literature.

Thirding Dracula, it's a pretty decent book. A lot of Lovecraft's stuff is written as diary entries, too.
Literally the shittiest form of narration. Not a single good book has ever been written as a diary and I don't understand why authors still legitimately use it.

Gogol's Journal of a madman
A Confederacy of Dunces contains a few journal writings, though they make up a very small portion of the book.

Nausea by Sartre
It's pretty good so far, but I'm only halfway through

Can't believe no one had said The Martian yet. It plays, Masterfully, with the tripe odd journal entry novels, by being a transcript of video journals. It's also a very realistic book, and redefines hard Sci fi with the voice of the current generation. Could not recommend nore highly.

Algernon?
Jakob Von Gunten by Robert Walser.

Anyone who recommends The Martian should always bring a huge disclaimer. The character development and writing is awful. The only thing interesting (and very much so) is the scenario and MacGyver in space.
But the fucking lol-so-quirky ninjarobots space pirate disco shit is terrible.
