Neglected Books

Welcome to the Neglected Books page. Here you'll find lists of thousands of books that have been neglected, overlooked, forgotten, or stranded by changing tides in critical or popular taste.

When I first saw this, I thought, "Well, if books are neglected, it's probably for a reason." Then I thought, "But if that's the case, your man Chesterton must be a doofus," so I checked it out. It's a neat site. Yeah, most of the books I couldn't care less about, but it's interesting to see how many fine writers and books have been forgotten or largely neglected.
