Orwell would have hated to see his work turned into that, but he died before it came out. I've read some of his essays, and I really like his political beliefs. He was kind of a socialist-democrat. If you're interested, I can lend you a really short collection of essays by him. I'm sure your reading list is pretty long though if it's anything like mine.
