James Hogg
The University of Stirling would be pleased to hear that their edition of Hogg's Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is now available at The Jacksonville Public Library in Florida. Will this classic receive the attention it deserves or will it sit on the shelf for a couple years then be discarded to make room for lesser works that are more popular?

Unfortunately, I believe it will become a victim of the Book Wraith, not because of people like us but because most people don't like to read things out of their own experience. No matter how universal people's behavior is in older books, most people now regard them as old-fashioned and uninteresting, not worthy of their time and energy.
