Conan : die Original-Erzählungen aus den Jahren 1932 und 1933 
If you know a kid that can read but doesn't enjoy it give him a copy of this and you may just turn them into a reader for life.
This was the first fantasy book I ever actually finished (I was probably in 5th or 6th grade). It is a collection of short stories that details the early life of Conan following his enslavement through his days as a young thief and then into his days as a mercenary. This book changed my life and opened my eyes to how much fun a book could actually be. If you like fantasy you will love this book!
Good ol' Mrs. Furstenthal would have called this "bubble-gum for the brain."At least it was a fun chew.

If you're worried about being politically correct, respectful, non-steroetyping, etc., avoid Howard: he'll definitely trouble you, sooner or later. If you want meaningful discourse, the same. Howard was not interested in the later, as far as his fiction went, and unaware of the former.Howard was a teller of tales, a spinner of yarns, the sort who at one time sat by a fire and held his audience in sway for hours on end, not to educate or enlighten them, but to entertain them with exciting tales
First book of the Conan series rocks. After this one, the guy just gets too darn toughlucky and it's no longer interesting or believable.
CONAN CONAN CONAN! You get what you pay for: if you want stories that start off with action, have lots of swordplay, and don't waste any time on deeper symbolic meanings (or introspective dialog), then this is the one for you. Howard created something special when he wrote these pulp-fiction adventure stories.
I met Conan in the mid 1960's. The series was being republished and I had never heard of Robert Howard or this dark, brooding giant.By the way, I was in college when I began reading the Conan stories. If you remember your history, college in the mid '60's was all about hippies , marches against the Vietnam War, getting high, "make love, not war", sticking it to the MAN. Power to the people!My friends really didn't understand. They still don't 40 years later.

Ilustration During Books Conan : die Original-Erzählungen aus den Jahren 1932 und 1933
I was in 8th grade and I really hated reading and just couldn't get the point or what the pleasure of it could be. My babysitter new I was upset about many personal things in my life and she bought me a copy of Conan. It was just the escapism that I needed and threw me off into Conan's world where I could imagine myself in following in Conan's footsteps. It was the perfect read for me at that point in my life. Before the summer was out I had read probably the first eight books of the series and went on to read many books from many different authors and genres. But I will alway's have a special place in my heart for Conan my savior and hook into the many worlds and distant lands that reading can take me.If you know a kid that can read but doesn't enjoy it give him a copy of this and you may just turn them into a reader for life.

Honestly, the writing in these books is not great. I lost track of how many times the same modifier was used within a couple sentences. Conan's muscles are never muscles, they are *always* thews. His speed is always panther-like. His eyes are possibly the only blue eyes that have ever existed that are "volcanic" blue rather than ice blue. The women, of whatever race, are always supple, slender, lithe. There are a lot of she-panthers.However, this is actually a good thing.
