Thanks, I have seen the film, 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and I didn't find it that bad, but I have read many times that it is not a patch on the graphic novels.

Steamboy I saw in a shop and almost bought once but something stopped me, I will find it again.

I have read most HG Wells. I particularly liked 'When the Sleeper Awakes' which is not steampunk as it is set in the future, but I think is a very overlooked book by him. Jules Verne I am familiar with from the various films but haven't read much. Conan Doyle - I have read Sherlock Holmes, but not 'The Lost World'.

If you class those as steampunk, then you must also include Henry Rider Haggard's 'She' and 'King Solomon's Mines'?
