Robert E. Howard

[Genus Unknown]

Tangent about the possible direction of Lovecraft's work if he had lived longer has been split into a new thread. I like the discussion and would like it to continue, but this thread is about Robert E. Howard.

I just downloaded all of REH's Conan stories into Audible this weekend and have begun listening to them. I'm starting to have much more of an appreciation for the Conan sagas. I love this line from Queen of the Black Coast as Conan waxes philosophical: “I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."

@ catamount: “I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content." That sort of sums up Inception, but in a non-dreary way.
