I like Micheal Chabon and Umberto Eco. Is Leviathan good? what else?

    Well, first, I'm going to assume that you don't live near a great independent bookstore with your 'free shipping' comment and thank you for supporting Seattle's largest bookseller from wherever you are.

    I think you should look at books by John Crowley; Little, Big, in particular is amazing. I would also suggest looking through Tim Powers's books. He's written quite a few about a bunch of different subjects, and I bet you'll find one or two that really appeal to you. I really dug Anubis Gates, but that's my personal tastes.

    You also might like Neal Stephenson's early work: The Diamond Age is kind of a grandfather of Boneshaker and lots of modern steampunk work. And Jay Lake's fantasy—-one series of books is about a clockwork universe--can do weird things to your brain.

    Sorry to say I haven't read Leviathan, yet. If you do, let me know what you think!
