Rendezvous with Rama

Ah, Clarke, Clarke... For many years as a young adult, this was my absolute favourite author. And of all his books, this was my favourite. That was the first time I was introduced to the concept of a cylindrical multi generational ship. And I was blown away...

Interestingly enough, every other book in the series is beyond bad. I mean, BAD. Painfully hard to read. I can only imagine they were entirely written by the co-author, Gentry Lee (Clarke would never have done that!!!!)
