Question
Summer readings here .... what book are you reading now?
Im reading Jasper Fforde s The Eyre Affair. So far Im not in love with it it seems like a nonwriter wrote it. Fforde has silly names for characters such as Thursday Next and Jack Schitt. Im still reading maybe the juvenile characters names and predictable plot will become enthralling soon.
Answer
Im rereading the Mars book series.Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the tarzan novels.There are novels in the mars series beginning with a princess of mars.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant fourarmed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for years.brbrYou can get free ebooks by edgar rice burroughs,O.Henry and rafael sabatini from Project Gutenberg.
