the inevitable crush of time

Sir Arthur C. Clarke, one of my literary hero's passed on yesterday. I'm not sure exactly how to mark it personally, but the least I can do is post a moment here for posterity.

If you're wondering what's so special. Go read Dolphin Island, Tales from The White Hart, Childhood's End, Imperial Earth, or for the really good stuff The Collected Short Stories

I read my first Clarke book back in 1982 or 83. By the time I had finished High School, I had pretty much read the every bit of his fiction available to me. Every new Library I went into was exciting because I might be able to find an previously unavailable tome.


anyways, rest in peace, etc etc.
