George Orwell has a blog! The Orwell Prize, which is a British prize rewarding political writing, is publishing Orwell’s diaries online seventy years to the day later. With the initial post on August 9th, Orwell writes of his daily life, such as picking blackberries. And, his political musings will be posted starting on September 7th.

This is so awesome. Which proves that I am a total book nerd. The Pepys one in particular–to have the words from 1665 in a modern day blog format makes me laugh.
