And the book "Rendezvous with Rama" which I recently read. Great book! Sad day indeed.

Not that anyone is actually serious when they show grief in threads like this.

No one is grieving, lying on the floor crying their eyes out and contemplating throwing themselves off a bridge, correct.

I think people can be allowed to appreciate someone who wrote some excellent entertaining books though. Ive never met the man but Ive had hours of pleasure reading his books.

I suppose you didn't understand 2001 A Space Oddyssey, otherwise I am not sure what you are talking about.

Yeah, probably my favourite. I got me "The Complete Stories of" a while back, and there are some excellent short stories in there. Really enjoyable author in my opinion.
