:’) That was the view of the late George Adamski as well. ;’) Asimov did a short story called (I think) “The Long Rain”, which has Venus a rain forest where the rain basically never stops, and there’s a Vietcong-like native insurgency opposed to Earthling dwellers, so they go around destroying the habitats (which are dry and brightly lit inside). And Burroughs had his first-person Mars stories, as well as at least one Venus novel.

Actually, “The Long Rain” was written by Bradbury. I am a big fan of Asimov as well (and Paul Anderson, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, Frederick Pohl, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, et centera ad infnitum....).
