As someone who hasn't always been the hugest fan of blogs, I am intrigued by the idea of one of my favorite authors being portrayed as a proto-blogger (will Orwell's personal minutia be more readable than the typical blog's?? I sure hope so!). I've got my feed reader set for the 9th!

George Orwell: Blogger?
Starting August 9th, George Orwell's diaries will be published online in blog format at the Orwell Diaries. Each blog post will mirror the diary entries - only 70 years in the future. It's an interesting way to present the material (which, prior to this project, hasn't been widely published) & hopefully it will introduce Orwell's writing to a new audience.
