I've read his works. Some stories aged better than others. I sometimes had to remind myself that they were written almost a century ago.

If you liked Howard's Conan stories, check out Robert Jordan's. (Yes, the Wheel of Time guy.) IMO they're really good and faithful to the spirit of the originals. The writing is very different from Wheel of Time. It does get quite dark in places.
