Of course... even if I do find most of Clarke a quite tedious read.
He keeps repeating lines and generally writes as if he thinks his readers are idiots... but of course that's just my HO.
Honestly, of the traditional trinity - Clarke, Asimov and Heinlein - I'd consider Clarke easily the best and most readable. Asimov has much better ideas than he has prose, and Heinlein, well, he's a 'where to start' sort of guy.
