Interesting Top 25 Steampunk Aficianados List

I recently was directed to an interesting list of the top 25 steampunk Aficianados novels list. I think it is worth checking out, especially if you are thinking about dipping your toes into the steampunk world. I would have liked to have seen some of Chris Wooding's work make the list but, you can't have everything.

Anyone studying literature, art and design or film (particularly speculative pieces) has likely come across steampunk in some manner. Regardless of what many misguided Etsy sellers claim, this offshoot of cyberpunk (along with the similar retrofuturist subgenres dieselpunk and atompunk) originates from authors emulating 19th Century scientific romances. Most — though by no means all — envision a Victorian or Edwardian world boasting technologies far beyond what reality ever saw. Many of these involve gears, clocks and obviously liberal amounts of steam. Though taste is always subjective, the following literary works should provide a reasonable foundation for anyone curious about exploring steampunk culture.
