Just once I'd like Mars to be described without using the word "red."

"Kim Stanley Robinson's Malachite/Blue/Technicolor Mars headed for TV" might rally more interest.

If someone were to make a Venn diagram of "people who read & enjoyed Red Mars" and "people who watch Spike TV" it would consist of two circles very far apart.

I miss TNN. When they turned into Spike they sold out to all kinds of crap programming. Maybe this is a turning point?

Then people would pronounce it to rhyme with "olive."
Just like I heard people saying Caprica as if it rhymed with paprika.

The Jedi Master Well, you kinda have to, when the other books in the series are "Green Mars" and "Blue Mars."
