I got “2061: Odyssey three” as a gift but I didn’t read first two books. Can I start with 2061 or should I read 2001 and 2010 first?
You will absolutely not understand what’s going on in #3.
That being said, the books aren’t perfect sequels to each other, so don’t expect exacting continuity.
Have you seen the movies? That could be a basis for reading the 3rd book, but it’s been so long I don’t remember any details that you would miss.
I haven’t seen the movies. I’d like to read books before watching movies.
The books build on each other. It would be best to read them in order.
Definitely best to read them in order.
Definitely read in order.

I mean, you can read anything in any order, do you boo. Those stories however are definitely “chronological” and build off of each other. So I would not only reading the last one.
