Since August 2008, The Orwell Prize has been presenting George Orwell's diaries in blog form, exactly 70 years since they were originally written! If all goes according to plan, the entries will continue until 2012. As the original diary was begun before WWII and ended several years into the conflict, this will be a very interesting experience to read in real time.
It's not all completely riveting, however. At the moment, the entries consist of a daily count of the number of eggs his hens have laid!

That's cool. Thanks for the link! What a concept! Amazing historical blog.
Read any good books lately? I'm trudging through the Rest is Noise: Listening to the 20th Century at the moment, and might need something to take a break on.
