I read Conan as a form of escape and catharsis. I think you have to be very stupid to read Conan and think you should model your behavior after his. Just like you have to be very stupid to watch Goodfellas and think becoming a mafia associate is a sound notion. It is interesting to read about a character like Conan, who lives in teh world he does and thinks the way he does. And it can be engaging to wrestle with his ideas. But it is just a set of fantasy stories about a cartoonishly macho barbarian</p></blockquote><p></p>
