I also just saw the movie John Carter (from Mars), shallow but enjoyable.
Enybody knows if the books are any good?

I have all of ERB's books (he also created Tarzan) and loved them growing up. They are still enjoyable though formulaic to some extent as they were written in the pulp fiction age where quantity of books over quality ruled. I actually thought the film wasn't too bad either and was surprised by the negative reviews.
No worries. Book three will solve that.

I'm reading the Saga of Recluse books. Lots of books in the series, I'm starting the 4th. The interesting thing is that each book is an independent story, in different time frames, so book 1 was, say in year 1000, where they mentioned in passing some parts of the past. Then book 2 was in year 0 where you see how it all started, then book 3 in year 500 where other things mentioned in book 1 are played out. Book 4 would be like year 1500, where everything you've read before is now history, etc. The author tends to overextend in useless sections here and there (like in one of the books, 2 or 3 pages basically explained how the character made a saddle step by step), but so far it's been entertaining enough.
I started reading The Wheel of Time out of boredom, and cant put it down.
Please help!

I am free! Freeeeee!
It was just a moment of weakness.
I kicked the addiction with Revelation Space.
I still have glimpses of the Dark One, even while awake, but I hope they will be gone in few days.
After that I will feed my fantasy addiction with Robin Hobb works.
The farseer sixology was one of my first favorites. It still is, though I can see some of its critiscm. Such as the self pitying (wallowing?) of the protagonist, which I didn't mind that much but I can see why it can be too much for others.
The last one I started one afternoon, read all night until 6am - couldn't put it down. Started again at 10am and finished at 3am. the damn thing stuck in my head for months
That is the under statement of the century and I say that as I the guy who has just finished the latest (17th or 18th) Recluse book! However I don't mean that as a bad thing at all, its part of his charm
