Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a fan of the Arthur C. Clarke “Odyssey” series of books/films, but never read the third installment. The plot: centenarian Heywood Floyd leaves on his final space journey to Halley‘s Comet and gets wrapped up in a rescue mission to Europa. It‘s a gentler and rather lesser cousin of “2001” and “2010” but I enjoyed the speculative (modestly outdated) science and Clarke‘s humane vision of humanity‘s pursuit of the unknown.

What can I say other than another great addition to the series? It definitely is more for people who like science and trippy space discoveries. You keep coming to find out what they uncover next, it's just a lot of fun for a nerd like me. 4.5/5🌟

I can't help but get tickled by little things like this 😄

I'm not spoiling anything, all I'm going to say is this, I'm 47% into this book and this is just about what I looked like when I got here 😱😱

You know you have good friends when you can say that to them lol 😝

Not even 100 pages in and I find a gay couple in an old Sci-fi book that I will now treasure forever 😂😂😂

Okay first off I want to apologize for being MIA both on Litsy and #LitsyLove I've had a lot of personal stuff and family things going on and then the holidays rolled around and it had me all messed up and stressed out. I will do the best I can to get back on track! Starting with my first book of the year (tagged). Hopefully I'll respond back to everybody who wrote me! 😅 Also I got new glasses on a random note 👓

Lots of love for this series. It‘s everything I want out of a science fiction novel. Clarke is a creative genius who has taken me beyond my wildest dreams with his imagination. He seamlessly ties the past into the future making his universe feel all the more real. I can‘t wait to finish the series with 3001. 🖤◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️

Day #30 of #NovemberbytheNumbers. The tagged book was first published in 1987, but I first read it in 1997 when I read the entire quartet from start to finish. I‘ve never seen the film of 2001 (and probably never will tbh) but I adore these books so much. Arthur C Clarke is probably my favorite of the classic sci-fi writers & this quartet perfectly demonstrates what I love most about his work.
