The relationship between Asimov and Clarke was very close.
The Forwards and Editorials they'd write for each others books were so funny.
(Correct me if I'm wrong on this story, I don't have the book in front of me.)
Asimov wrote in one Forward about this lady who was in an aeroplane reading one of Arthur's latest books. When suddenly the plane got in trouble and they had to assume crash positions. She apparently didn't mind dying in the least, as she wouldn't have to finish the novel then. Unfortunately the plane landed safely and she went on to complete reading the book.
