Another ghost writer.

It seems that legend Arthur C. Clarke has given up the ghost. He lived an impressive ninety years.

I believe that the very first, real science fiction book that I ever read was Clarke's Islands in the Sky.

Peace.

I remember seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey at the old Cinema theatre on 5th Street in Winona with my friend Bill sometime around 6th grade (maybe it was the second time around for the movie?). I know I missed a good portion of the movie, 'cause the early bits with the monkey-like proto-humans scared the crap out of my pre-adolescent self. It's still not one of my favorite movies, but I love the Odyssey books. Farewell, Mr. Clarke.
