Any other recommendations? I'm in need of a few good books to add to the queue.

  The Difference Engine by Gibson and Sterling. It's got mixed reviews, though.

    I got this book a good few years ago. Most of the book is really good and interesting, but overall I'm not sure I liked it, but maybe I missed the point or something. I should reread it sometime and see :) I did love the setting though - a world where Babbage had completed the analytical engine and computers (mechanical, steam powered ones) were unleashed on the world a hundred years early. Some interesting ideas are explored. As for other books, I actually enjoyed some of Gibsons newer stuff (The Bridge Trilogy: "Virtual Light", "Idoru" and "All Tomorrows Party"), though I've seen a lot of people say non of his other stuff was as good as Neuromancer.
