There is a lot of negative buzz about the upcoming Disney film - John Carter- and that bums me out. Growing up, Edgar Rice Burroughs books held a very prominent position on my bookshelf. His Mars books were great - lots of sci-fi and loads of action - who could ask for more? I have no idea what the movie version is going to be like, but the first book in the series - A Princess of Mars - is a killer read. You can read it for free (legally) from Project Gutenberg, where you can find more of the Mars books and his Tarzan books, too (Edgar Rice Burroughs at Project Gutenberg).Do yourself a favor and read some of those classic sci-fi authors... you'll be glad you did.
