It's only $CDN 6.15 at amazon.ca
http://www.amazon.ca/Way-Station-Cli.../dp/B00YO78RRS so probably less than $5.00 in real money |

Spoiler:
It's not my favourite Clarke book, far from it, but he was one the three greatest sci-fi writers of the 20th Century. His droppings are better than most writers' masterworks. To say nothing interesting happens is, as my list proves, silly You should have stuck with your subjective assertion that you find it boring. |

Way Station is very good. Simak reminds me a bit of Clarke. This was his best book, I think.

It's just an awful book. It's got a really dull plot and nothing actually ends up happening. |
