I have just read this and thought it was good. I really like how the auther portrayed the way the HAL 9000 went crazy. I have just started 2010 and it's pretty good so far.

Try getting hold of the short story (also by AC Clarke) "The Sentinel..." this was the short that inspired the whole thing....

Rendezvous with Rama.... one of the best alien contact novels ever... pity about the sequels.... greg bear attempted to update it with Eon.... just remember.... the Ramans do everything in threes.....

So is the book 2001 a Space Odyssey any better then the movie? I remember the movie being pure crap and one of the worst endings I've ever seen.
