Live Blogs Let's Read John Carter of Mars

Well, I'm waiting for the train, watching the freight trains go by, and reading ebooks on my phone. I downloaded the first few John Carter Of Mars books from Project Gutenberg to read on my trip, and I figured I'd pass the time by liveblogging them.

I've never read any of Burroughs' work; the closest I've come is watching Disney's Tarzan. Nevertheless, I've heard they were quite good.

This would probably be easier if I had Wifi for my computer and weren't trying to do this on my phone, but I'll give it a shot.

Edit; You know, I've also got the audiobook of the first one from Project Gutenberg, and the narrator has a groovy Scottish accent; I might try that, too.

Enjoying your commentary :) So John is just a tad love-crazy, eh? Ah, well, wouldn't be this kind of book if the hero didn't get the girl, would it? :p

Glad to hear it you enjoy it. Always seems kinda hit or miss.

• Wonder how different doing a voice commentary on something else might be?
  • Soon I'll have delusions of grandeur, thinking I can be That Guy With The Glasses. XP
