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!

I echo the recommendation of "Perdido Street Station" and "The Scar" by China Mieville, as well as "Whitechapel Gods" by S.M Peters. Also good is the collection of short stories, "Steampunk", edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer.
As for comics, check out "Cathedral Child" by Lea Hernandez, and the aforementioned League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
