I just finished reading a rather old science-fiction/fantasy novel. It was "A Princess of Mars", by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was first published as a serial written way back in 1912! Edgar Rice Burroughs probably sounds familiar, and he should, as he is much more famous for writing about Tarzan of the Apes.

I was able to read this book through my email, through a great website called DailyLit. They break books down into small, easily finished bits that they then either send you through email, or allow you to subscribe through a feed reader. They have a large number of books that are free, but they also have an increasing number of books that you can pay a small fee to receive in this way.

As for the book, I really enjoyed it quite a bit. It's obviously more than a bit dated, as at the time that it was written, science still believed that there were canals on Mars. You can tell that it was written as a serial, as there's quite a bit of action, and the hero, JohnﾠCarter,ﾠis rather larger than life. I've signed myself up for the next book in the series from DailyLit, and I can't wait to get the first email tomorrow. :-)
