book recs?

 Does anyone have any steampunk recs? That's the theme for my bookclub this coming month and I don't know what to nominate! 

Thank you!!

Perdido Street Station, by China Mieville

... I need to go check my bookshelves. I *know* I've liked more than that one book...

I'm not sure that the 16th century counts in Steampunk, but I've always been fond of Melissa Scott/Lisa Barnett's Point of Hopes (and its sequels).

I keep seeing The Anubis Gates on various Steampunk lists -- and I did love this book a lot -- but it's another one I'm not sure really qualifies. It's more a magic/time travel from the present day to Victorian Europe than actual Steampunk, imho.

Thanks so much, even if they don't qualify they still look awesome!

OOOOh this one looks good, thanks! 900 words were a bit too ambitious for book club but its definitely going on my to-read list.
