I didn't get much from this book, although I think it's mainly due to my lack of culture and knowledge than due to the author. I was not a fan of the writing style, which felt archaic and excessively verbose

Contains the twelve short stories that were published during the author's life. Personally, I found most of them just okay.
The one bright spot for me was "The Machine Stops," Forster's sole foray into the realm of science fiction. This was an interesting read, especially given its publication date of 1909 -- highly recommended.

Should be 3 1/2 stars. When it was good, it was very, very good, but when it was bad it was horrid.
