    THE GODS OF MARS (John Carter #2)

    :) I have just started my 2nd read of this one, & it is even more exciting than the 1st volume! Actually, I just finished chapter 6. By the content of this story, I would say that Burroughs held a dim view of religion, as its refutation is featured prominently herein. Perhaps, I should say life...

    A Princess of Mars, the 1st John Carter adventure

    I mentioned that I had read the entire series some time ago, & just the other day, I heard that THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS was now making this available for on-line reading. I doubt that those with foreign IPs will be able to do so, though. http://read.gov/ is the site's main page; I do not know...

    A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs

    One of the earliest commercially successful science fantasy novel series was Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series, and A Princess of Mars was the first book in the cycle. Though it was not as commercially successful as Burroughs' later Tarzan novels, he did make his mark on SF with these books...

    Tarzan

    I've read the first two Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs and I have noticed that there are many others. What I'm wondering is that are they all worth reading? Does the quality of the books deteriate or are they all of the same high standard of the first two?

    The Caspak Trilogy

    The Caspak Trilogy (The Land that Time Forgot, The People that Time Forgot, Out of Time's Abyss) by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Although fans might dispute harshly, I believe this to be the best of Burrough's series that I have read. Whilst Tarzan may have the apes and the unforgettable character...

    Tarzan of the Apes (Book Club)

    Please begin the discussion of July's title, Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. My first thoughts: 1) This is a much older book, does it stand the test of time? Or do some of the thoughts and ideas presented betray its age? 2) Any thoughts on the comments the author was trying to...
