Links for 08.12.08

Interested in reading a blog that was written 70 years ago? The Orwell Prize has created a site that is reposting all of George Orwell’s diaries as a blog. The entries were written between August 1938 to October 1942, and will be reposted on the blog on the same days of the month that he wrote each entry. I think this is idea is so much fun! Big thanks to my Rory’s Book Club friend Carma for sharing the link.

Amanda, from the blog Life and Times of a “New” New Yorker that I recently discovered, wrote a fun post that continues the theme of buying books you already own. I’ll let you click through to find out what novel she likes to collect. :)

NY Mag’s Vulture blog posted a funny list today of Ten Other Entertainment Events That Should Happen Once Every Four Years.

I’m pining for this set of four Gothic Dessert Plates. (found on MightyGoods)

My favorite design blog, Design*Sponge, has a great recurring feature called “sneak peeks” that consist of many photos of designer’s or artist’s homes. I almost always like the home featured, but today’s I positively adore. I’d move in right now if I could. The house itself is amazing and the decor is exceedingly charming.
