The description of Silverlock makes me think about The Thursday Next series.
The main character can travel through books, and meets a lot of fictional characters.
After reading those books, I wanted to have a look at Jane Eyre, even if there is a good chance that I won't like it.
I won't give the complete list of references, but here are a few of the characters / books that are mentioned :
- Waiting for Godot
- The trial, by Franz Kafka
- Hamlet
- Wuthering Heights

I like most of what Dan Simmons has written, I did not however like "The Terror", which I personally thought stunk to high heavens and back again. Which is a shame really, since I liked the concept well enough, just not what he did with it.
