Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke has died. It's been a long time since I've read any of his books, but they've stuck with me. 2001 and 2010 were great, although 2061 didn't have quite the same impact. Rendezvous with Rama was memorable. None of them were as good, in my opinion, as Childhood's End, which Santa brought when I was 11 or 12 years old.
 
You know that one scene in the movie "2001" when the researchers on the Moon are having their pictures taken in front of the monolith? One of my favorite sci-fi scenes ever. I don't think I'd want to listen to the soundtrack to the scene over and over again, though.
