Possibly my very favourite book is a collection of all Arthur C Clarke's short stories, from 1937 to 1999. The things he was writing about in the 40s and 50s... he had such a vision. I don't know what to say, except he will be very much missed.

In a strange way, it feels wrong to be closing this one...but I felt this was important enough to put in news.
