Gonna get sth by this author in this case. Anything in particular for the beginning that you would recomend?

I love Arthur C. Clarke's writings, maybe it is written in very particular style and is more hard SF. I'm finishing his Collected Stories, read Randevous with Rama, Space Odyssey books, Songs of Distant Earth, now reading Fountains of Paradise and love it.
