Title: R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke Post by: Tondog on March 18, 2008, 05:43:10 PM Legendary Sci-Fi author Arthur C. Clarke has passed away today...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/03/18/obit.clarke/index.html If you don't know, Arthur wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey and helped Stanley Kubrick write the screenplay for the film adaptation. Some other novels he's written include Rendezvous With Rama (which is being adapted into a movie directed by David Fincher and starring Morgan Freeman), Childhood's End, The City and the Stars, and many others. He was truly a legend and will be missed. Title: Re: R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 18, 2008, 11:29:03 PM fucking 90, he had a good run.
