Dare I admit how long ago it was that I read the works of Jules Verne? Journey To the Centre of the Earth was my first SF novel. That impressed me so much that I kept reading SF and, when I grew up, took up caving and cave diving for a few years. Today I decided to have a reread of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in preparation for the paper I'm giving at Wastelands: Age of Iron. How tickled was I to relearn that Captain Nemo's Nautilus was powered by electricity.
All you DIY steampunkers and steampunk musicians whose awesome creations get dissed because they don't spout steam, here's your defence: The Nautilus didn't spout steam either!!
A few books I am looking forward to reading in 2026... At least the ones
that I know about!

Every year for the last couple of years I have made one of these lists,
but I can't remember ever actually reading my way through it. I read
perhaps 50%...

I saw a steampunk looking guy on a motorcycle on the commute this morning. I would have taken a photo for you if I wasn't driving.
