Right now I've got a collection of all of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. It was a bargain at $ 0.99 on Kindle. I'm currently on "Red Nails". The style, and some of the themes, might not fly today but the stories are certainly entertaining.
Following my "one book per week" challenge for 2017, I just finished The Golden Mean, by Annabel Lyon. Historical fiction about the private lives of Alexander the Great and Aristotle, and their relationship as tutor and student. I have to say Annabel does a superb job bringing ancient Macedonia back to life. All those little details of the everyday life that not only show she took her research seriously but create a vivid world beyond the most often portrayed soldier's life and great battles of the ancient Greece are simply genius and ingenious, and a great example of effective world-building.
