I've chosen the story witten by Mark  Twain "Eve's Diary" .I really like it, but i'd like to tell you some information about the author of this great story for you to realize better what a nice person he was and how wonderful style of writing he had.  


Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), better known by the name  Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He is best known for his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876).
Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse, but evolved into a chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies and murderous acts of mankind. At mid-career, with Huckleberry Finn, he combined rich humor, sturdy narrative and social criticism. Twain was a master at rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language. Many of Twain's works have been suppressed at times for various reasons.
A complete bibliography of his works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces written by Twain and his use of several different pen names.
In 1870 Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon, and they settled in Hartford, Connecticut. The couple had two daughters.

While living in Hartford Mark Twain wrote one of his best works - The Gilded Age (1873); The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884); The Prince and the Pauper
 (1882), a children’s novel; Life on the Mississippi (1883). A Tramp Abroad (1880), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889).

        To tell the truth, I haven't read the story yet, so I can only imagine what it's about. But   trying to guess from the title, I suppose it's about main heroine's life or some part of life and she wrote it in the form of diary. She shared with her thoughts, feelings,emotions. I've chosen exactly this story because the title of the story intrigue me and I'm sure it'll be interesting for me to read it till the end.
