I've read All Quiet on the Western Front and I'm reading Storm of Steel currently and I've become very interested in First World War memoirs. I've also found the Eastern Front in World War One interesting as well, but so far, I can't find very many memoirs of the front, so if y'all could recommend memoirs from the eastern front in World War One, that would be very appreciated.

Not exactly a memoir but “The Guns of August” has some solid Eastern Front coverage mixed in with Tuchenberg and the early campaigns. For actual memoirs though, Brusilov’s “A Soldier’s Note-Book” is pretty decent if you can find a copy – gives you the Russian perspective from someone who actually ran the Brusilov Offensive
Also worth checking out Aleksei Ignatiev’s “A Subaltern in Old Russia” though it covers more than just WWI, the war sections are quite detailed
