R.I.P. Arthur

I just read on msnbc that Arthur C. Clarke has died. Words cannot express how sad this makes me. So much science fiction written these days is crap that I am always going to back to re-read his books. I have bought, worn out and bought again so many copies of his books I can't even begin to say.

2001 and it's sequels, the Rama series, Childhood's End, Hammer of God.. good lord the list goes on and on and on and on. His books made me think about words instead simply digesting them.

The world is a less fun place today. :(

That does suck. I read plenty of his books when I was younger.
