They have a daily blog displaying entries from George Orwell's diary. I found this one through the ever increasing might of my google reader service (I don't know how I managed to live in the dark age without a decent RSS reader, which is weird because most people in Japan/Korea don't use RSS service for some reason. They use portal sites).
I haven't really read it in detail yet, but Orwell seemed to have had some strange obsession with the number of eggs per day... Many of his entries consist of "One egg" or "Two eggs", nothing else. It's so concise as to be surreal... I'm reminded of E.E. Cummings for some strange reason.
Why the number of eggs? What did he do with the eggs? Did he eat them? Was he using them in some strange ritual that gave him the inspirations for his works? Was he just a little bit bonkers? Hmm.
