Heh... I originally lurked in here to see if any of my books were turning up...
But now that I'm here: I'm surprised at a few mentions of A.C. Clarke's
Rendezvous with Rama in here. Understanding that it's the reader's opinion, I'll just say that I loved the book, and part of the reason was because when I read it, there were no sequels, nor plans to write any. Taken by itself, Rama is a superior book. But I agree, the series itself is pretty sad. Clarke, overall, is an author people have to be into... his style is very distinctive, and not everyone is good with it.
I can't contribute much to this thread, because there are very few bad books that I've ever read (I'm careful about the books I touch)... and most of them have been blocked out by my subconscious by now. One in particular that was not blocked out was Michael Crichton's
Congo... one of the few books I ever literally threw in the trash immediately upon finishing.

I am appropriately scared.
