Is there any juicy incestuous erotic fanfiction to be found? I had my own fantasies about it when i read the book but that's just because i liked lolis, imoutos and incest stories. Don't pretend that it's a hidden meaning and not a projection born out of insecurity and taboo. Western cultures seem to have some weird shyness about familial closeness and physical contact, probably gotta have something to do with the sexual promiscuity and debasing sex

you tell me what book this is

I've found what I think is the complete anthology of all Conan stories in a local bookstore. I've always been curious about Howard's work. Any of you fellas here have any opinions on the stuff and how it stands up nowadays?

Just finished this. The prose was a bit amateurish but it was a fun read, so I intend to continue the series. I like the idea of the protagonist not being the "destined hero" but instead just some kid that put the work in. What I don't like is that the actual hero of prophecy feels like he gets all these powers handed to him without having to work for it, so I hope the story is building up to doing something different with that. He feels like an oblivious idiot trying to be some sort of fairytale hero while the protagonist is quickly developing into a sharp-minded badass.

Anyone else familiar with it? I picked it up at the recommendation of someone in this thread so I presume there's at least one of you.

As a white male identitarian I would like you all to acknowledge and realize that women simply can't create good literature and that Woolf and Eliot are inherently inferior to TRUE GOATS like Pynchon and David Foster Wallace

>>9069652
Not really, no.

>>9069652
it conditions people to view the world through a specific lens, so yes

>>9069620
After 234000 words. Or after 758 adjectives

Any worldbuilding is too much worldbuilding

>>9069675
Then how do you make sure your story has a believable world?

Pretty neat pop science.

>>9069613
It's a good book. Interesting, entertaining, and engaging. Just don't think it answers any big questions in life or anything. Then you'll come off like a dumb old redditor. The math in it is only advanced if you don't do any math, but it's a nice meditation on some cool ideas.

>>9069622
What ideas does it put forward. My basic understanding from reading about it is that it has to do with self-referential systems and how it leads to consciousness. Is that correct?
