Periodic Post of what is going to be Newness

I keep having to adjust the name of this post to accommodate for reasons like not having a book... or the apparent topic of the book. Well, back to the point. The next book that I am going to read is hopefully Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld.

Who knew... another mythical creature is the title of this book. Lets just start with the definition. The dictionary defines 'Behemoth' as "a huge or monstrous creature".

That definition makes this creature in effect, a Behemoth. However, the bible references both the leviathan (sea creature from a couple of posts ago) and the Behemoth, within the same book. I have noticed however, that the Leviathan has a much more solid definition, as it is a sea monster. The Behemoth lies in ambiguity, somewhere between an elephant, and a sauropod. This could have to do with what was going on it the last book, and even what secrets are being spilled


Until next time, I hope to keep reading, and series on!
P.S. Steam-punk is the genre of this book. The melding of the past with the future.
