18th & Early 19th Century Memoirs, Autobiographies & Satires to Read Before You Die

Here are some literary works of the 18th Century that I read or want to read. This is by no means a learned or exhaustive list, just a current reading list, a snap of my curiosities in this moment in time. I included political and social satires, memoirs and autobiographies. I left out philosophical treatises of more substance - I plan a whole different list for those!
Mostly Eurocentric again, because of my limits and the limits of the English language translations I can find.
I included the early years of the 19th Century because I could not force myself to leave Goethe's works out.
And yes, I know that Wilhel Meister's Journey etc. is officially a novel, but please read it and then tell me what it looks like to you...
