I have only read some of the Conan stuff. Most of those stories are self contained and you don't really need the others to enjoy them.
I did, actually. I picked up the stories that inspired the movie collection at a Borders when they were closing for $1. It was a great steal. Not sure what I was expecting when I picked it up, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I read a bunch of Howard's stuff in my early 20s. Most of it was fairly fun, although there's a strong racist streak running through some of his stuff. Better to stay with the pure fantasy stuff then with some of the stuff set in contemporary times.
