I remember going to the Library one time, early in the morning. I picked up this book titled 2001 and began to glance through it. The next thing I knew they were closing the library. I had spent the entire day inside the pages of that book and I had no idea of the passing of time. I reckon the greatest complement a writer can receive is that their book was a page turner. That day, in the Library, I was so deeply engrossed in that book that I literally peaked around the pages to see what was coming next. dawg

My introduction to Arthur C. Clarke was a collection of short stories, Tales from the White Hart. It was 1961 and I was twelve. I was in the sixth grade at the time and my teacher made me sit in the corner of the classroom after she caught me reading the book in class for the third time in the same day. It was my introduction to the world of science fiction. I still have the book.
