RIP: Arthur C. Clarke

First Gary Gygax and now Arthur C. Clarke. . .:-(

A veritable giant of the genre has passed away. The silver lining is that he leaves behind a legacy that will live on for decades. . .

May he rest in peace.

    I've only read "Rendezvous with Rama", which left me preferring Asimov's work. But I understand "Childhood's End" is his true classic (according to GRRM anyway) so that'll go on my reading list. My respects to the man who was possibly the greatest living legend in the field.
