There's a long list of literature I'd sooner see get the anime treatment before that.

I am conflicted on these books. Part of them really appeal to me and I want to keep reading. But then another part keeps me from really getting into it when I start actually reading them.

Tolkien just rewrote fucking Beowulf except made it more boring and dragged out with autism.
Pic related predates Tolkien by decades and is better, more imaginative, more exciting and more creative than Tolkien's autistic poetry anthology with a threadbare plot.
Conan by RE Howard is better too.

God, I fucking love oldschool pulp.

Is this worth a read?
I've never read 'pulp' before so I don't really know what I'm in for.

I want to read the literature equivalent of a Marvel movie, flash with no substance.

Any recommendations?

You want "planetary romance". Check out the Barsoom series.

Has anyone read the whole Barsoom series? Is it worth continuing past the first book.

Also, Victoria Era and turn of the century sci fi general.

This is campy as fuck but it's basically Western Dude In Space. It might be more interesting if your protagonist wasn't so strait-laced but was more Little Caesar or Walter White or whatever. I don't know tho, I'm not a writer.

I am reading A princess of Mars. So far it is all in first person which annoys me. Does it stay in first person or do any of the books go to third person?
