Conan/Robert E. Howard thread

Remember that time Conan almost raped a Demigod?

>> No.5924008

I wanted to buy one of his books at barbes and nobel, but they didn't have any. Then they didn't have Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I had to get a murakami novel. Its half the price on amazon too. Fuck brick and mortar stores.

Eh, shame this thread hasnt taken off like other Howard threads (surprisingly) did
Have a courtesy bump
Whats everyones favorite story? I loved the tower of the elephant, because what conan found at the top of the tower was completely unexpected.

Haven't read Howard. libgenned a complete stories collection of him, for some reason. What's his best short story?

people like you are the reason /lit/ is the shitcrust at the bottom of the 4chan septic tank
the shitcrust that the power-washer has glanced over for years

anon, let's just discuss our male power fantasies and ignore the uptight dickwavers who are uncomfortable being caught reading something outside of the western canon.

really, they're just gonna be pillars of salt towards anyway you respond. they're the kind of anons that always post the same ten novels while listing their favorite books. they live in the safety net section of /lit/.
