Although
The Hunger Games is perhaps the most anticipated book to be released as a movie this season,
John Carter is another book-based movie that people are eagerly awaiting.
John Carter (coming to theaters on March 9) is actually based on the series of books, starting with
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Yes, THAT Edgar Rice Burroughs, the one who wrote Tarzan exactly a century ago in 1912. Check out
The Mars Trilogy to read the first three books in the John Carter series -
A Princess of Mars,
The Gods of Mars, and
The Warlord of Mars. Also, good news for ebook lovers - these books are old enough that their copyrights have expired, and are therefore available as
free ebooks at Project Gutenberg.
