Michael Swanwick's pair of steam dragon novels, The Iron Dragon's Daughter and The Dragons of Babel are also excellent examples of weird fantasy, though the first one was a little bit too grim---the second one is MUCH warmer, and makes a very good audiobook. Can be read in either order as they are set in the same world but not connected, recommend reading the latter first.
I also read Stross' Rule 34---I'm a big Stross fan but I thought this one was alas fairly weak, especially compared to its prequel Halting State or any of the Laundry books.
