When I was 5, a couple decades ago, I was introduced to fantasy writing.
My mother bought me a bunch of used Conan books. At the time this was awesome.
I still go back and read some of them now and again.
But man, that was the best and growing up Conan was my hero.
As I got older I discovered newer and better books in newer and better worlds, but still Conan is what got me into fantasy writing and for that matter comic books too.
Is there anyone else out there who enjoyed these books?
My favorite story was always 'Red Nails' followed by 'the God in the Bowl'
Some of those short ones are pretty original.
There is also a real good movie (IMHO) called "Whole Wide World' based on a book that I have not read. Have you read it?
It stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Rene Zellwegger and I really enjoyed this romance story and would reccommend it. It offers a very interesting view of this enigmatic writer.
