Which manliest of men would win?

so i'm getting the urge to read some Conan, and i've only ever read a couple short stories. also can't say i loved them--i had a very hard time getting past the racism. but that got me searching, and i found this pretty interesting blog post on the topic...

Hi all, I've just picked up two "tomes"!! The Complete Chronicles of Conan http://www.amazon.com/dp/0575077662/?tag=brite-21 Conan's Brethren: The Complete Collection http://www.amazon.com/dp/0575089873/?tag=brite-21 I have to say I'm really looking forward to reading both these collections...

Would Robert E. Howard be considered historical fiction?

Especially since the British published a lot of titles for Conan Conan Roleplaying Game and since there are plenty of stories by Robert Howard as well as over 40 - 50 misc Conan titles. Wouldn't a Robert Howard forum make sense? I'm starting out myself with "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian"...

Well, it was quite a pleasant surprise when Lovecraft was published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, but -- given the type of stories he wrote -- I can't help but wonder if anyone really ever expected to see REH published there. Nonetheless, it has indeed happened: Heroes in the Wind...

I'm curious about this author and would like to read some of his conan stories,but where to start! There's quite a few books out there but some are written or compiled by other authors-Howard died terribly young and I imagine he left a lot of stuff undone! I've looked on Bookmooch and...

I just found this on the sfsite front page. Anyone read these?(Conn, you like these?) reviewed by Mario Guslandi http://www.sfsite.com/03a/rh291.htm

Conan the Barbarian is one of THE iconic characters of fantasy. Almost eighty years ago, he walked onto the pages of Weird Tales magazine and undertook many adventures in the Hyborian Age, ten thousand or more years ago when the world looked very different. Dozens of tales followed before Robert...

Just got notice from Hippocampus Press that the 2-volume set of the Lovecraft-Howard correspondence is now scheduled to come out some time in 2009: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard - Hippocampus Press Having read several of these letters, I'd say that they are a treat for...

Apart from the famous comics adaptations, I haven't read much Robert E. Howard. What do you suggest as compulsory reading?

Well, occasionally there is mention of Robert E. Howard around here, especially the Conan stories. However, I'm wondering who has read his other work, whether it be the stories of Bran Mak Morn, Kull, Solomon Kane, Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, James Allison, Agnes d'Chastillon, or any of his other...

Does anybody know where the best place to read all the Robert Howard Conan stories together without offerings by other authors and in their original form (preferably without having been edited by Sprague De Camp or others)?

Any Conan-readers? I have read one novel only...Conan and the Manhunters, i enjoyed every page!
