Darren’s comments from the The Steampunk, Cyberpunk, and Other Fictitious and Non-Fictitious Works Group group.

Hi my name is Darren. I first wrote this in the what I am currently reading thread so I apologize for the duplicate post. I have been an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy since I was young and was introduced to steampunk in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. I then read the Steampunk series by Cherie Priest starting with Boneshaker.

I am currently reading Hugh Howey's Wool series (not steampunk) but a book I highly recommend and can't put down. As I am finishing that series I am looking for new material to read.

I look forward to hearing suggestions and looking up books member have already suggested!

What got me into steampunk but is not fully consider it is Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. One of my favorite books and author! I then read the steampunk series that Cherie Priest wrote starting with Boneshaker.

I am currently reading the Wool series (not steampunk) by Hugh Howey and couldn't recommend a book more. If you haven't read it, you should. But as I am about to finish the series I am looking for new steampunk suggestions.

I look forward to hearing the books you recommend as looking up some that already were!
