Final Odyssey
Arthur C. Clarke, one of science fiction's few remaining grandmasters, died today at age 90. Childhood's End was one of those books that left a deep impression on my adolescent brain (aliens that look like Satan=way cool), but Rendezvous with Rama is probably my favorite of his. It's such an economical story but it vividly conveys the head-scratching weirdness of a vast and ancient universe.
