Not sure how many years it has been since I read "The City and the Stars", 
and "Against the Fall of Night" (the former being a massive re-write of the 
latter). 

Any event, since I don't have any movies based on Arthur C. Clarke books 
recorded on my MythTV box I am turning to genuine print on paper technology 
from the BM (Before MythTV :-) ) era to remember Mr. Clarke. I have retrieved 
copies of both "Against the Fall of Night" and "The City and the Stars" from 
my home library to act as bedtime reading for the next little bit...
