What are your 3 great books?
- Rendezvous with Rama
- ?

I'm guessing 2001 and Childhood's End?
I'm interested in Imperial Earth, The Fountains of Paradise and The Songs of Distant Earth.

Rama is a great book, but the sequels are almost unanimously derided as dross...

I haven't read any of the Rama sequels. My only experience with Clarke and Gentry Lee was Cradle which sounds GREAT. But I remember being very disappointed when I read it.
Clarke and Stephen Baxter make a good pair though and I recommend their Light of Other Days if you haven't read it.
