The Sentinel and the first two books are worth reading, even (or especially) if you did not like the films. Reading Clarke is a different experience from watching Kubrick or Hyams.
I don't normally bother with novelisations, but
2001 was probably one of the first in science fiction (before novelisation became a mass industry), and it's both well written and different from the filmed version in interesting ways.
2010 wasn't even a novelisation; the film was based on it.
