Myth, the Universe, and Everything

Here's me showing my lack of knowledge... I don't think I've read *any* prose that's Steampunk. Most of my feel for that type of setting comes from comics, movies, and video games. If I were focusing on the steampunk aspects, I'd recommend League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the comic), probably just the first volume. I think it gives a real feel for the Victorian setting with the more-advanced technology.
