Why read it?

2 authors picked Conan as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There are many reasons why I love the character Conan. He is big, strong, and fearless in the face of danger. He battles monsters of epic proportions and evil beings to satisfy his own bloodthirsty tale of revenge. That plus the action kept me on the edge of my seat. 

From Charles' list on fantasy filled with action and mayhem.

From the monumental opening quoted in the movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s, Howard establishes a mastery of how to set world, pace, and dream at once. Though there are many Conan novels and shorts, none sparked the dreams of a young reader more than this first in the series.

Recommended for young readers with an interest in writing fantasy. Howard’s brand of sword and sorcery was years ahead of its day.

From Mord's list on which spark the dreamer.
