Yesterday I found out that The Orwell Trust is publishing George Orwell's diary entries seventy years to the day that he originally wrote them on a blog!! They started August 9th. So far I've learned that Orwell's dog was named Marx which I think is hilarious and that he started his whole diary when he found a large snake in the garden. Just when I think I can't like Orwell any better than I already do, this comes along. I think the diaries last for six years and covers the approach and then the activity of WWII along with Orwell's daily life and observations. Fascinating stuff.
