Read a couple of his books and enjoyed his tv show back in the 90's Arthur C. Clarke's Unsolved Mysteries (or soimething like that). A really amazing man. RIP.

I remember back in the 80's they had been talking about making a movie of Childhood's End. That book is great science fiction. Sad news.

I didn't realize he was still around. RIP

"Childhood's End" is one of my all-time favorite works. I kept hoping for more books from him, but between his age and his lifelong complications from Polio I'm sure it was just too much. I, for one, will miss him. R.I.P., Sir Arthur.

Wow! I thought he would live forever. I loved 2010 and The Fountains of Paradise!

While 90 is a good age to check out, I will miss A.c.c., one of my favorite authors. R.I.P
