I'm a nerd, railfan, and a dad. I fix servers for fun and profit! I've been biking a lot, and sometimes I manage to say something witty

June 10, 2023

So my last #library #book was The Steampunk Trilogy by Paul DeFilippo. 3 short stories in one book. The first two stories were positively delightfully bonkers stories. Never knew what kind of ridiculousness you'd find by the end of the page! The third story...I couldn't finish. The pacing was off and I just couldn't get into it. I did feel like every story I had to wait a little bit to become invested in the characters and their story so maybe I would've found joy if I stuck with it but I didn't.

But all had really fun tie-ins to real history and real historical figures, including a young Queen Victoria, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Walt Whitman, Fredrick Douglas and more, but also events such as the Great Molasses Flood

Super neat book and the stories I did read were well worth it!
