Hey, don't apologise, a bunch of the books I've read recently have come from LJ recommendations!
As for my piles: there's a bunch random fantasy stuff because I used to read a lot of it when I was a kid but I've shifted quite heavily into children's fantasy recently and I'm trying to get back to my roots (so Scott Lynch and Joe Abercromie and the likes). Two Flora Segunda books, the last two Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, a Peter S Beagle short collection and one of his earliest novels, a bunch of fairy tales books (Grimm and English Fairy Tales), Journey to the West, Breaking Dawn (which, I mean, I don't even know if I'll ever read it - I read a recap and I feel I don't need to now) and assorted others.
So, yeah, it's a whole bunch of stuff. And I know Dad's got a couple of trilogies he thinks I'll like, too. (He was the one that got me into fantasy via Eddings when I was a kid)
Dude, I don't even know what to do with seasons. I haven't had seasons since, IDEK, '96? Whenever I moved to Canberra (only has two seasons - winter and summer).
Of course - now my little seaside town is being punished for having so much sunshine and we've got fret and clouds. Stupid North Sea. :(
