Slow read. Not sure if I fully understand the ending. Glad I read it though, because it is a culturally significant book/film, and it had some entertaining parts. I will say that I thought HAL's involvement would be more significant because of how often he is referenced in modern media.

"And yet, in one very real sense, he was not alone. Before he could be safe, he must be lonelier still."

"A dully gleaming cobweb or latticework of metal, hundreds of miles in extent, grew out of nowhere until it filled the sky. Scattered across its continent-wide surface were structures that must have been as large as cities, but which appeared to be machines. Around many of these were assembled scores of smaller objects, ranged in neat rows and columns. Bowman had passed several such groups before he realized that they were fleets of spaceships; he was flying over a gigantic orbital parking lot."

"He was moving through a new order of creation, of which few men had ever dreamed. Beyond the realms of sea and land and air and space lay the realms of fire, which he alone had been privileged to glimpse. It was too much to expect that he would also understand."

"Here, Time had not begun; not until the suns that now burned were long since dead would light and life reshape this void."

wow what a book. Ahead of its time, so interesting. Hard to put my finger on why i loved this book but i really just did, had a great time. (also helped that my copy was old and browned and the pages were warped such a gorgeous copy.

This is another one of those classic you just have to read at some point. Sadly I didn't like it. Hated the movie, didn't like the book - this entire story simply is not my cup of tea.
