I just found an e-book on 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is around 90 A4 pages. Seems to little as far as i am concerned. Does it sound about right? I don't want to read something that is a summary of the actual book but the actual book itself. Any ideas?

Wikipedia has a nice write up of all the varied theories also -
look for "interpretations of 2001:A Space Odyssey" (tried posting link and it wouldn't work)

Umm. The paperbacks I bought weighed about a half lb apiece.
Time constraints are all good. I am married with a little daughter - that adds to time constraints
Truly sorry about your time constraints. The day I still cannot enjoy a good book is the day I smash my puter.

Ok, so am i missing the point (??) besides it being a "showcase" of futuristic, back then and to some extent now, technology?
Without sounding stupid - what was the point of this almost 2 1/2 hour movie? Yeah to say there IS intelligent life "out there". But what else?
