### Comments:

I only got into ACC quite recently: I liked the movie 2001 for a long time but (like most movies) it didn't make me try and find out who the author was; the first ACC I ever read was an extract from Richter 10 in the October 1995 issue of Focus magazine and that really put me off; I didn't touch ACC again until January 2001 when I picked up a copy of A Fall Of Moondust from my local library and - BAMM - I was flabberghasted. When I had finished Moondust I picked up Rama 1 again from the library and after that I saw a cheap copy of Childhood's End on a 2nd hand bookstall and bought that. You could not pick up 3 better books to turn you from recognizing the name of an author into a fan; in fact I was so impressed at his story telling I spent the rest of the year buying every piece of work by him that I could get hold of; I currently have 35 books including the Venus Prime series and a making of the movie 2001, aswell as 2001 and 2010 on DVD. Big shouts go out to all you Alec Empire and Steeleye Span fans out there.
