I liked every single Burroughs book I read as a youth,
And there were a LOT of them.
At least 10 Mars books to start with.
Mine are in boxes, so I can't count them right now.

Very interesting.
I'd like to see the Venus and Pellucidar books someday too.
It's only just becoming possible technologically.
