Fuck tiggers.

Also, i wish bookcovers were like this. I miss him boys.

Can we get a science fiction short story discussion going?

I have been trying to remember the story of a man who is considered mentally unstable, or odd, because he doesn't use technology all day, every day, like everyone in his future society does. It ends with the psychologist he's talking to starting to doubt himself.

I'm a total sci-fi scrub so I can't recommend many stories but you could check out Nightfall by Asimov.

As many others here have suggested, Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter/Barsoom books are what you want and where that Frazetta illustration came from. (And, they're free on Gutenberg.) Burroughs also did a Venus series (with less nudity, but just as much ray-gunning). I devoured all of them when I was 13.

You might also like Robert E. Howard's "Almuric," or any other "planetary romance." Or find the books Frank Frazetta illustrated, including more of Burroughs' stuff (Pellucidar is always fun to visit), Howard's Conan books, and lesser known (for good reasons) authors like Otis Albert Kline.

You might like E. R. Burroughs' John Carter books. Look around for the old Nelson Doubleday editions; they're cheap and you get Frazetta art thrown into the mix.
