wow!! never knew that too! I hope they rebroadcast his reading..I missed it..I have never seen him give a reading, but from his books you can see that he does a great deal of research. What I love about them is that he does not try to beat the reader over the head with a ton of facts, but rather places them perfectly within the overall narrative

After having looked at the new books listed here..just have to say..WOW!!! so very thankful to all of you for posting about your magnificent works!!

Clarke is a brilliant writer..he really is able to bring his subjects to life. is one of the finest travel books I have ever read..Clarke captured the people and places so perfectly..felt I needed to really "unpack" when I finished this book!!

I read The Jungle years ago for school..it was more of a manifesto then a novel..certainly important in it's influence..yet I found it very difficult to read

Recently read this ..a most magnificent example of early fantasy/sci-fi! I love all of his books, yet this series really had me glued to the pages..very ingenious!!!

I agree! I also did not expect much..yet was blown away by how absorbing and entertaining it was. The transfer to HD is very good, but not as pristine as other new films. This is because of how it was filmed
