Oh my!!! And here we were talking about 2010... and I had just pulled out a copy of Rendezvous With Rama and was planning to start reading it tonight. How weird is that. He was one of the top 10 writers ever in my book. What a sad day.

One of my favorites. I read every fiction book he wrote from Rendezvous with Rama on. My flag is at half-mast.
R.I.P. Mr. Clarke. Thanks for everything.

Jeez, Anthony Minghella and Arthur C. Clarke in one day? They come in threes; I'm scared to find out who the third will be.

Oy. He wrote the forward of the paleontology book I'm currently reading. That might be the last written work of his published during his life. R.I.P. Mr. Clark.
