	I don't believe that 2001 is a fair example of "novels to
explain movies."  Arthur Clarke wrote a short story titled, I believe,
"THE SENTINEL" dealing with mankinds' meeting a monolith-like object
on the moon.  This inspired Stanley Kubrick to envision a screenplay,
which he & Clarke collaborated on.  The movie inspired Clarke to write
a much more complex & humanistic book (more than the movie), which
carried the same title as the movie.
