Why the title? Because this is a jumble of mostly short and sometimes frivolous works that I have read since late summer (in Oz).
If some of the books seem esoteric, they may be 'pity reads'; books that I read because they were in one of my challenges and no one else had read them yet.
Some favourites: The Iron Man, Flowers of Evil, Phedre, Sanditon, Many Moons, The Double-Bass, Parnassus on Wheels, The Magic Paint, Home, Emerald City.
