The Diary of Lady Murasaki by Murasaki ShikibuMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
I can't really leave a rating here. Suffice it to say I find these types of memoirs/journals/diaries fascinating. Not to mention there is an interesting (not entirely flattering) tidbit about Shikibu Izumi, who also wrote a diary, which I will hopefully be reading soon.
Also, being the author of the Tale of Genji, it is quite insightful how she refers to a certain official as "No Genji". This might be some insight into her character development.
