Worth It

One blog worth subscribing to: http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com/

Each day, sixty years ago, that Orwell wrote in his diary, the site feeds his entry. 

On April 7th, 1941, for example, he wrote that a "[s]hortage of labour more and more apparent and prices of such things as textiles and furniture rising to a frightening extent" and that"[t]he secondhand furniture trade, after years of depression, is booming." 

It's a good time to sign on, since December 7, 1941 is only six months away.  By that time, you'll have seen the accumulation of England's struggle, and Orwell's take on the sudden (?) involvement of the US will surely be poetic.

It's also good to see how such a concise and intelligent writer did work away from the publishable page.  What he wrote for himself.
