Amusing quote from this book
It is not that I am unsentimental but this quote did make me laugh and perhaps sums up John Carter's character better than any other description:
"Never have I been much of a ladies' man, being more concerned with fighting and kindred arts which have ever seemed to me more befitting a man than mooning over a scented glove four sizes too small for him, or kissing a dead flower that has begun to smell like a cabbage."

Actually I think it must be close to E R Burroughs, I just recently read the 5 Venus book series and another one of his, (the title escapes me now - but misfit of his time is transported to barbarian style planet) and this quote could apply to those heroes too.

Did you enjoy the Venus novels? They sound very similar.
By the end of book 2 of the Mars books I felt like I had had my fill of that character for a while.
