Bookshare has many Conan books by Robert E. Howard. I don't have Chela's stamina to get the urls to all of them though. Just put Rhobert Howard Conan in quick search.

Hey Speedy,

That's amazing.

I had about ten done, and another five somewhere in process. Call me slow
poke.

If you want the ten I have done, let me know.

Wow, thanks Judy. Great list.

Roger and Rick, you both bring good points about the merger of
fantasy and science fiction. I'm surprised there aren't any
alternate histories in this list.

Chela, I'll help anotate the list. I'll  start with 100 and go
backwards so others can chime in where they can.

Bob

them for you...like I used to do with Scott Rains.

     NPR does an annual survey of readers' favorite science fiction
and fantasy books.  Here's their list of the top 100, in order from
top to bottom, according to the 60,000 ballots that were cast by NPR
readers. I wonder how many of these we have on Bookshare? I'd look
it up if I had something faster than my poky dial-up connection. smile

     I noticed that Watership Down is in the list.  It never struck me
as part of the fantasy genre, but hey, what do I know of how it's
decided where a book lies, especially in the science fiction and
fantasy genres? grin.
