Red Mars..I could not get through the first book. Dune. I also could not finish it. I watched the movie,hoping it would be better,but it was not. .Sad to say,I prefer sf,but I'm picky. I have the same approach to protagonists in books. If I don't care about the protagonist, I cannot enjoy the book. Also,if protagonists get offed ,that stops me pretty fast as well.
