[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 1306281, member: 4530"] I am so stoked about this new Conan game!!! I couldn't get halfway through reading The Two Towers without falling asleep, but that's never something I experienced while reading a Conan story (regardless of the author or quality). I didn't have that sleepy problem reading LotR rip-offs like Sword or Elfstones of Shannara... John Norman's GOR series (Books 1-5, anyway) were the same; action packed, sword-swinging pulp adventure in the style of ERB's John Carter, Warlord of Mars. Thieves' World was good for the first two books, then started making me sleepy in 3, only to become started unreadable by books 4-5. Elric started off good but got boring real fast for me after book one (or two). I never heard of Karl Edward Wagner's Kane books, though I'm familiar with Wagner as the editor of the Year's Best Horror Stories for many years. I'll have to check the Kane books out! I never read Howard's other hero pulps either, like Solomon Kane, Kull, Bran Mak Morn. Any good? [/QUOTE]
