I bought three books today, from the Barsoom series, but I only bought the first three because the series is huge and I don’t intend to read the others. But what is this “Barsoom series” about, you might wonder.

Well, you know that silly Disney movie, John Carter? For some reason I can’t remember, I once watched the ending and got pissed off by it - like, c'mon, I wanted to see the real end and not just imagine it by myself (and the actor who plays John is so cute... that I wanted the character to have a happy ending with his girl).

The series has 10 books (I guess), and only the first one was translated into portuguese, something that really influenced me in choosing to buy all three in English. And now I’m going for it you know, to practice my English, that is not getting any better - I am so tired of embarrassing myself in public...
