What I got so far. I have considered somewhere around 25-50 books depending.
I mixed in some of my favourites.
Is there any great concentration camp diaries/memoirs I should include?
What about some well known stuff like Girl, Interrupted and Ernest Hemingway's autobio?

It isn't a diary or an autobiography, but Michel De Montaigne's Essays are incredible. Id argue there is something autobiographical about them, especially as Montaigne himself describes them as 'autological' - "I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics; that is my physics".

Goethe’s Italian Journey diaries

Also I feel like the genre: of memoir and autobiography are so expansive that the selection in a small list like this will appear strange and idiosyncratic. I think this chart might be better if restricted purely to the diary format.
