Robert E. Howard's original Conan stories are incredible. Pulpy, over the top, sure; but also thoughtful at times and brutal in its cynicism at others. Interestingly, the very first Conan tale - 'The Phoenix on the Sword' - is set very late in the career of King Conan, some time after the people have forgotten to fear the Cimmerian. An assassin makes an attempt on Conan's life...with predictable results.

From what I have read, Robert E. Howard is a phenomenal author. He is lauded as the father of the sword and sorcery genre. I can't wait to read the mythos of Conan in full...it will be quite a ride.

Not reading it yet just placing it on my shelf
