The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian

One of my goals while we wait out COVID has been to read through all of Howard's original Conan stories.

They've been a fun read. I think if I was trying to read them all at once, the outdated opinions of gender would have been overwhelming, but in smaller doses it was manageable. And Howard's central theme of how we define civilization and barbarism still feels deeply relevant in 2021.
