Steampunk

Dear flist,

After reading a few of you wistfully talk about steampunk, I realized that I am not all that familiar with the genre. Do you have any recommendations? I'd prefer books, but movies and whatnot are fine too. :)

Thanks!

"Wild Wild West is an example of steampunk (though it might more accurately be termed Weird West), but it's a pretty terrible film otherwise so I wouldn't recommend it."

I'm told the original 60s TV series was much better.

Agreed on the comic book version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, much better than the film it spawned.
