Sounds interesting. I've read a lot of Asimov recently. Completed the Foundation series, and also read a book with a load of his robot stories. (eg. with Susan Calvin in). Also read some of Arthur C Clarke's stories. Not read all of the Space Odyssey, but I completed the Rama series (excellent IMO). Also read a few of his older stories, which although a little optomistic about finding life, were decades ahead of their time. Also reading the Saga of Seven Suns series by Kevin J Anderson. Not to some peoples liking, but the story shifts from character to character and stories and people cross path throughout each book. Little mysteries are slowly eroded as time goes on and personally, I race through every chapter to get to the next part of the book to find out what has happened to characters left earlier in the book.
Now trying to expand my horizons a bit, and find some other good sci-fi authors.
