Goodbye Arthur C. Clarke
The literary world is mourning the passing of Arthur C. Clarke. I know many of our readers will be sad to hear of his death. He will be long remembered, who can ever forget the writer of 2001: A Space Odyssey? I recall reading that book and just being blown away by the fantastic ending. Clarke had the ability to create scenes and characters (who can forget the supercomputer HAL) that stick with a reader long after putting down one of his books. Feel free to share and thoughts you have about Clarke and his writing with a comment below, and for more about Clarke's life and accomplishments check out his obituary from the Washington Post. In it he is quoted as saying "I want to be remembered most as a writer -- one who entertained readers, and, hopefully, stretched their imagination as well" I have no doubt that he will be.
