Rendezvous with Rama

Yesterday afternoon I intended to sit down on the couch to start reading Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. I say intended because in reality I sat reading until I finished the book, about 2.5 hours later. This is not the first time I had read this book, but it has been several years since I picked it up, so many of the details of the plot and the narrative still retained some freshness. Clarke is one of my favorite authors; I think one reason is that he always gets the science right. If there's one thing that irks me, it's reading a book or watching a movie and seeing science that's not implemented right or is just plain wrong. HERE's a review of the book.
