Mars Fiction
With a new rover landing on Mars I thought I'd post my favourite peice of Martian fiction.
Omniligual a short story by H. Beam Piper. Published in 1957 it's a bit dated scientifically and technically, but still a good read. http://manybooks.net/titles/piperh1944519445-8.html# Strong female characters are quiet common in his stories. This ones set in about 52AE (Atomic Era about 1997). For a while after reading this book I found it hard to resist Martini's at 17:00hours! Any other good martian books?

Ben Bova - Mars, Return to Mars.
Greg Bear - Moving Mars Also although John Wyndham didn't really specify Mars IIRC, Day of the Triffids, The Chrysalids, The Midwich Cuckoos. All classics.

There must be 100's ... just a few classics from famous authors that come to mind ...
Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert Heinelen) Barsoom (Edgar Rice Burroughs) Out of the Silent Planet (CS Lewis) Marvin the Martian (Looney Tunes) well not really a book Sands of Mars (Arthur C Clarke) The Martian Way (Isaac Asimov) Of course Mars also features in numerous movies and TV shows ranging from Dr Who to Babylon 5.
