This might be a dirty secret, considering I am a moderator on the Conan forums and all;
This is my first time reading Robert E. Howard's The Hour of the Dragon.
I've read many of the REH original Conan tales, but I never got to this one. I know it's an important one - REH's only novel. Part of me, I think, wanted to savor that so I'd have something new to read of Howard's.
Well, I'm there now.
Someone asked me how it is to read, I said it feels like coming home.
Aside from that, not much to blog about. Busy at work, busy at home.
I do have a list of writing tasks I need to attend to, both stories and some articles. Now that summer's here, for some reason, I seem to have more stamina for later nights. If I can keep the synapses firing, some late summer night writing will be fun!
Well, if you've read the Conan stories you've actually read a lot of Hour of the Dragon, since he put it together with lots of pieces from those stories. Still, it's very worth reading anyway.
