Jimi Hendrix

Today I came across this news story about Jimi Hendrix. The article is a review for the book Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience. This book is an exciting take on material already known & shown about Hendrix; the difference being about 30 interactive pieces, which are reproductions from actual ephemera of the guitar legend’s life, […]

Britney Making News with Her Diary

I read this news story with interest. Seems somebody thinks Britney Spears is going to publish her diary. Somebody else says this won’t be happening. Either way, Spears continues to make news just for keeping, or not keeping, a journal. I’m sure glad no one wants to read my boring scrawlings. How about you? Please […]

Anais Nin

I have to admit; I’ve never read any of Anais Nin’s diaries.
Ok, I did try once, but just couldn’t get into them. I know a lot of people are thoroughly inspired by her diaries, though, so perhaps I should try again. Anyway, you can read excerpts of her diaries here to get a taste. […]

I enjoyed reading this news story about actor, writer and director Richard E Grant. Apparently he’s kept a journal for the last 40 years. Grant says of keeping a diary:
“It’s kept me sane — literally has kept me sane — and has been a great comfort and a great solace. I just love doing it.” […]

Personally, I can’t see that it would be very interesting, but she does have celebrity on her side. I’m sure someone will buy it. I […]

Ronald Reagan

Apparently Ronald Reagan was not a journal keeper, but did keep a meticulous diary during his term as president of USA. Read excerpts from his diary here. There are also sample pages of his handwriting in a slideshow format. Makes interesting reading.
