I never liked Lord of the Rings, but I can understand why people are so butt hurt. To many people of my generation Lord of the Rings was like Harry Potter is today.
There is a hidden history, in LoTR, and you don't have to read between the lines, that much.
Harry Potter is just total trash.
Robert E Howard's Conan is still the best sword and sorcery fiction ever written.
I just watched Conan on a whim for the first time sense I was like 12 catching it on Encore.
Are you telling me there is a book and it has some depth?
The Conan books aren't really all that deep. They're pulp action without much philosophy. The first movie sums up the universe pretty well. Solid entertainment.
It is what is known as "purple prose" a style that greatly inspired Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time.
The writing is amazing. There is some hidden history built into it.
The stories are short, bite sized and exceptional. Together, they're a great tapestry.

Robert Jordan also produced the Chronicles of Conan and The Further Chronicles of Conan which are pretty good.
Sprague did a number of books, as well. Nobody does it like Howard, but they were pretty darn faithful.
Robert E. Howard invented sword and sorcery fiction, for all intents and purposes.
