Of the Quill:  Ganymede by Cherie Priest
After a lunch, I cranked up the heat, Annie joined me in my office on her kittybed, and over some tea I finished Ganymede by Cherie Priest.  This is a steampunk novel in a civil war influenced America that never was.  The historical inspiration draws from the Hunley submarine experiment but by the end of this pulp you've encountered zombies, airships, submarines, cross dressing, and the bayou.  It was a good read although I find myself now craving slightly heavier fare.  Weekends are made for this though, particularly when it is a cold, rainy northwest day like today.   Fun read.
