Calling Conan's enemies (who are always black) "black dogs", negroes etc. Conan being fueled by "racial anger". I heard that Howard was racist but sometimes you don't believe something until you see it. That being said, the stories were good. But if he were to write like that today, his career would be even shorter lived than it really was.
    I know what you mean Re: Howard, but I don't think it would negatively affect his career...in fact I think he'd be more successful because of it. There'd be controversy and it would be deserved, but oh...it'd sell like fuckin crazy.

    Read almost the first half of Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut today. It's very great. Haven't read in weeks. Think I wanted to save last 60 pages of Crime and Punishment for long session on the dock up north.

    Then reading The Scarlet Letter on my vacation and I don't know what after that.

    Just finished it and I absolutely loved it--probably the most fun read so far this year.

    I might have broken my read last year. Last year I read just under 100 books. This year I've read between 5 and 10. I am ashamed to post my book list this year.

    The Final Program by Michael Moorcock. Its very similar to a couple of his Elric stories, The Dreaming City and While the Gods Laugh.

    If I'm being completely honest, the past 2-3 years have been very bad for me on a reading level when compared to the years that preceded them.

    Yeah, mine's been really bad for a few years too. I hate it. And I just went to the bookstore the other day and bought a bunch more books. I think I just might have more unread books in my little library than read books now

    same happened to bears before they got their Kindle. Now they are totally going to make 100 books this year.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
