My favorites were "Childhood's End" and "The City and the Stars" but everything he wrote made you feel like you were reading something important and feasible.

Their movie together ("2001" of course) still holds up wonderfully well. Pretty amazing considering that everything about that sort of movie-making has moved so far so fast in the <i>forty years</i> since it was made.
