R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke died yesterday, 90 years old. He will be mostly remembered by the public for the Odessey series and especially the big screen translation of the 2001: Space Odessey.

To me however, Clarke is all about Rama. Nothing can ever come close. There are only a few books I've read that have made me raise questions like "is there anything worth reading from here on?". Rama is definately part of it.

I hope Clarke will be remembered for his great mastering of the writing craft, not that other stuff people tend to connect to him.

PS: Seems I have been lazely idle in updating this blog. See a pattern? Hint: RIP's.
