love rendezvous with rama, have also read rama 2 and garden of rama, not as bad as the reviews would have you believe, some interesting ideas in both, you've made me want to read the last rama book, rama revealled! will probably read it next week!
@richardbrown8966 Thanks Richard, I agree, the sequels are still worth the read I should have mentioned. That's the other sequel that didn't come to mind when I was shooting the video, thanks for bringing it up.
i read RWR back in the day and just recently Rama II and lost my mojo for the third, thinking it overlong. all the slinking around in corridors and halls seemed like a video game to me. i think i finished it, but probably skimmed to the end. Rama II was stronger IMO. the concept was good and the mystery carried me along, as you say, but i've had enough. i'm currently reading 'Exhalation' by Ted Chiang. a collection of shorts i reckon you would enjoy. very well written, lots of accolades. i just finished Simmons' Flashback, which was good, as usual, but i was glad to be done with his dystopia. nice placement for RWR, did him proud.

I don't think I've read exhalation, I'll have to keep an eye on it, BTW, was it you that recommended Radix?
