There's only 4 books in the Rama series 
Unless you count the two written by just Gentry Lee. Arthur C. Clark had nothing to do with them.
Good series, though. One of the first scifi series I ever read, I think.
If you like good long scifi reads, you should definitely check out the Foundation series, by Isaac Asimov. 7 books.
I actually started reading the foundation series... but had to return the book before I was finished with it. I've procrastinated about actually buying the books ever since.

I've never gotten into sci-fi books, but fantasy novels I have read alot of. I did read quite a few Robert Heinlein novels. Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough For Love being the best, imo.

When I was younger, Isaac Asimov was my hero. My dad met him at a MENSA meeting and I was always jealous about that. But I never got around to reading anything but the first in the Foundation series!

For some reason, that reminded me of NAMBLA.

I just started Asimovs, "The Foundation Trilogy". I borrowed it from a friend who said it was too meaty for him. It is a big beefy 500+ page novel with tiny print.
It may take me a while to get thru it.
