Finally found my diary

I read a lot of books, be it text books, science fiction, fiction, fantasy, horror, humour, comics, autobiographies etc..

Never could quite find a book that I can read over and over again, something worth keeping beside my bed. Then I realised what I was looking for wasn't actually a book...
