Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel starts slow and has a style that takes you back to a more civilized, "gentlemanly" time. It could put some people to sleep, but the subject matter is interesting and the alternate world-building going on here is some of the best around. I found myself totally buying in to Clarke's mythology and I loved the story. Bits and pieces still come back to me today and it's been a couple of years since I read it. Highly recommended.
