I reread this for the Catch-up Book Club on Goodreads, and I'm glad I did. The last time I read Anne's diary I was younger than she was while writing it, and again, I'm annoyed at myself for being such a dumb kid. Also, it's changed since my initial read. There's more and we get more background in t...
I read this book as part of Dead Writers Society Literary Birthday Challenge for 2016. I selected this one, and three other books because I feel like I have been slacking lately on my challenges on Goodreads. I first read version b of The Diary of a Young Girl when I was a teenager. I recall being s...
Wednesday, April 5, 1944I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I never met. I want to go on living even after my death!

I didn't read this for recreational purposes...I read it for information, insight, curiosity. I didn't love it or hate it. I wasn't appalled by the writings of a 14 year old girl...
http://www.annefrank.org/en/ After having a actual look at the hiding place, I shiver of the thought living there for 2 years. Sure, it's better than concentration camp, but the space is just too confined, which explains why there were frequent quarrels. I admire Anne even more.At first I thought th...
Anne Frank was Jewish. She kept a diary during the Holocaust of her feelings and what went on in the Annex.You can't deny she had talent and would've made it as a writer. Such a shame.
