About my librarySeems a bit plain doesn't it?
I tend to find it hard to select works to read, especially something modern or recent. So a lot is tending to be older and well known, and come from classics imprint lines like Penguin Classics and Gallancz Fantasy & SF Masterworks.
I suppose that is what they're there for but I sure would like to know how to know, and why, something is a classic as well as selecting new material.
My reading habit is I guess generalist, things from all over but I would like suggestions for literature though.
Checking my statistics I saw that there are only 10 female authors in it - dunno what to say about that. Suggestions for that too?

Welcome to LT.
Lots of great groups here for you to find inspiring reading.
I've been reading from the 1001 list and there is a group here that is reading from the list. For want of anything else, it has expanded my reading.
Hope you have as much fun on this site as I do
Cheers
