Possibly one of the most famous authors of our generation has died. Arthur Clarke, author of the short story Sentinel which spawned the Kubrik collaboration, 2001 Space Odyssey, died in Sri Lanka today (tomorrow in Sri Lanka).
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. She's currently loving contemporary authors like Sarah Mayberry and Kristan Higgins but her first love will always be the historical. Some of her old time favorites are Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey and some of the new favorites are Sherry Thomas, Joanna Bourne and Claudia Dain.

Waaaah! I’ve been a fan of his most of my life. Rendezvous with Rama is one of the best hard sf novels ever. He was one of the greats.
Gosh, two legends die on the same day. I was so shocked to hear about Anthony Minghella dying.
The Talented Mr Ripley was one of my fave films. He was far too young to die.
One of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi authors. He will be sorely missed.
