Hai!
Personally I didnt understand the endings of any Arthur C. Clarke books i have read.
As for the books,they are under copyright so you have to buy them or borrow from a library.
If you just want a list of his books just google.
If you want to get it for free .Try any p2p soft like emule,kazaa resurrection.
( Not that I'd suggest you do anything illegal, but hypothetically...)
 
Hi,
I have few e-texts of Odissey by Arthur C. Clarke just in case anybody needs them.
Cheers
