I just had a conversation at the public bookshelves with a lady of about 70, in which I tried to explain the concept of steampunk. Although I have read quite a bit of steampunk I find it really hard to come up with a proper definition ... and the fact that steampunk is a lot about visuals doesn' help either when talking about written words.

Talking about free books - I got 8 today. I said I wouldn't get more than 3 because that's how many I donated, but I have no self control at all. I'm like one of these people at an all you can eat buffet who will pile as much food as possible on their plates. But at least my habit is better for my health.
