More Train Stuff

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

John Carter: The Movie Novelization

John Carter: The Movie Novelization: Seems like Edgar Rice Burroughs already wrote such a book a hundred years ago.

One could simply get this:

John Carter of Mars: The Collection – A Princess of Mars; The Gods of Mars; The Warlord of Mars; Thuvia, Maid of Mars; The Chessmen of Mars – Edgar Rice Burroughs

Or one could simply download the books from Project Gutenberg.
