I'm reading 2010 now.  I picked up the whole series, along with a whole lot of Asimov, Herbert, Sagan, and similar, super cheap at the local library book sale recently.  Got enough now to last a year or more.

Haven't watched 2001 yet, though.  We're waiting until my son finishes the book and then we'll do it up with the projector.

I wasn't even aware of the other two sequels after 2010 until about a week ago. Ill pry pick em up when I have some cash. I haven't seen the movie either.

HaRuMaN:
Usually I like to watch the movie first, then read the book.

Other way around, I usually end up disappointed.

Ummon:
2061 was decent. Though of the really old school, Clarke was able to be somewhat culturally updated in it and the Rama books. 3001 I just couldn't get into, however.

I was lucky... at the library book sale they had them all lined up in the right order for $1.50 each old printings and hardcover (except 2001 which is paperback).

We did this saturday night... so, I gotta ask, WTF is with the movie?  It skips over huge important details and doesn't explain how it has moved from A to D without a B or C.  If I hadn't read the book I would not have understood a damn thing.
