George R. R. Martin: our long obsession with Mars - The Guardian

Panzer made a trip to The Guardian site looking for an interesting post for you today. Before our big brave kitty knew it he was traveling to ... Mars ... with ... George R. R. Martin.

In his post Mr. Martin tells about his childhood reading habits and John Carter of Mars, and Ray Bradbury's Martians, and sandmice, and The War of the Worlds. And ... the lose of the Old Mars with the Mariner Martian explorer. The post is a history of Martian fables, stories, pseudo-science and science.

Old Mars ... Here I come.

Panzer says, "Mr. Martin and Gardner Duzios have edited a book of Old Mars stories. I love the Old Mars stories. I want a copy!"
