- robin_reala 2y agoI keep on meaning to get around to a E. M. Forster Short Fiction compilation for Standard Ebooks. Maybe this will tip me over the edge.

- robin_reala 2y agoWe’ve already got several of his longer works,[1] but none of his shorter pieces, so I’ve started work on producing a public domain compilation. Hopefully will be up in a couple of weeks; all in it comes in at under 70k words. [1] https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/e-m-forster https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/e-m-forster
