Everyone who's anyone is citing this (Mike did so a few days ago, for example). But Phil Gyford has begun putting online, daily (with RSS) the text of Samuel Pepys Diary.

I've had a (abridged) copy sitting on my shelf for about 10 years (a nice little Modern Library edition from 1921) which I dip into now and again. While I don't know that I would ever had had the stomach to read all 6 volumes (for some reason this review of a new Pepys biography made me even more timorous), reading through a day at a time will be a nice bitesize joy.

Thanks Phil!
