Edgar Rice Burroughs
The man had a fascinating life, and Wiki and your Kindle will educate you.

I have been savoring all the Tarzan books and stories he wrote...one right after another, and let me tell you, this ain't the Tarzan we grew up with. He is entirely self taught, refined, speaks multiple languages, a perfect gentleman (if you call running around naked and killing wild animals with his bare teeth to protect his mate gentlemanly), and a HERO in the true sense of the word. This fellow makes Jack Bauer look like a sissy!  Definitely heart pitty pat material!

You can pick up most of these books on Amazon by doing a search for Edgar Rice Burroughs. If you get one of the "works of" books for your Kindle, you should have most of them. The rest, you should be able to pick up on the Gutenburg site or at Manybooks.net.

Happy Hunting!
