"Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his ("God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist."), but the rest are concise masterpieces."

Sure, Arthur C. Clarke couldn't write shit for shit if it meant shit.

Restul nu sunt chiar toate "concise masterpieces", dar sunt destule care merita. As vrea sa vad cum le-au ilustrat pe cele alese pentru ilustrat, dar nu am gasit inca. Probabil pentru ca nu am cautat.
