2001: A Space Odyssey

Being a classic of the genre of science fiction, this has been on my “to read” list for a very long time. I think I kept postponing it because I always thought the movie was kind of boring (although I need to re-watch it now that I'm older, I think it might have just been too cerebral for me as a younger child when I first watched it).

I listened to the audiobook, which was fantastic. Arthur C. Clarke read the introduction himself, which told how he wrote the book with Stanley Kubrick with the intention of making a movie. Also of note is they were writing this as the “space age” was in it's early infancy, which is cool to think about as you're reading the novel.

In the end, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Now, I'm wondering about reading 2010... What do you think? Is it worth it?
