I have mixed feelings about the Rama series.  I agree that the first 
(Rendezvous) is classic Clarke, but to me, the remainder with his 
collaboration with Gentry Lee went rapidly downhill.  Rama II was merely 
disappointing, but the third book (Gardens) was boring and its 
(non)ending was annoying.  I now have no interest in reading the fourth 
(Revealed).

OTOH, I think my all-time favorite SF book is "Code of the Lifemaker" by 
James P Hogan.  His Giants series is excellent also.  IMHO, all very 
classic Clarkeish.    ;-)
