Everyone has certain things in their childhood which have left an indelible mark on their lives. Things that are bad and traumatic that haunt us and things that helped mold us, strengthen us and/or brought us great joy. I have many experiences on both sides of the coin which I will delve into another day. One thing I will share now, and obviously ties into the link below, is a memory from my childhood that was bright.
I do not remember if I was bought the book by a family member (highly unlikely) or if I got it through that now defunct but really missed Scholastic reading program. In any case, I had a book called Rendezvous with Rama. It was one of the first grown up science fiction books I ever read and was one of many that I enjoyed from the great writer Arthur C. Clarke. Like his peer Isaac Asimov, Mr. Clarke wove great tales about the mysteries of the universe and how mankind fit in it.
If you like reading (I really miss it), like science fiction, and haven't read it yet, try starting with Rama. I think you will enjoy this great work from a now lost great master of the craft. RIP.
