AW, after you sent me the epub I decided to create and post R.B.C. Howell's work on the covenants in epub.

Haven't seen the movie. Yet.The movie is only very loosely based on the books. I would have enjoyed the movie more if it hadn't claimed to be the stories in the books. Dejah Thoris was very feminine in the books (she was NOT a warrior), but was also very influential and honorable. The world would have stopped to listen every time she opened her mouth.
Reading Burroughs has been educational about the mindset of the 1920's regarding evolution and racism. This is true in every book of his that I've read. He makes it apparent that evolution, eugenics, and racism are all tied at the hip, not because he says so, but because you get to take in all the assumptions he was making.
At the same time, it's interesting to note how honorable people were, even the bad guys. His books were either expressing optimistic expectations for people, or people in general really were more honorable back then.
Yes they fueled my imagination as a hormone filled young man.What always caught my eye, were the painted covers, especially covers by Frank Frazetta.
What can I say...I like pulp fiction. Here's what I'm reading now:
I've read just about all of this series, and was always hoping that one of the sequels could capture what the first book had: conversations between John Carter and Deja Thoris. The interactions the two of them had before they really knew each other was very clever. But, alas, none of the sequels ever did it as well as the first book.
You have inspired me to come out of the closet. I am a John Ringo fan.
There, I said it.
