If it means we won't hear much from you, not so much so.<br /><br />And aye, Clark Ashton Smith, here's to ya!Adelaide Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052999343460635401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-34685050122470959232011-08-17T04:35:40.161+01:002011-08-17T04:35:40.161+01:00I don't exactly understand you only talk about...<i> I don't exactly understand you only talk about the "Conan" film on its blog? no review on tbttf?</i><br /><br />I might do another special review for TBTTF. I'm currently writing up my experiences in London - seeing Jason Momoa, the cinema, the Natural History Museum, the Tate Gallery - and it's going to be a TBTTF exclusive. I'm also organizing the remains of my Cross Plains pictures. Anything not specifically relating to the film, though, will always be on TBTTF.<br /><br /><i>About Clark Ashton Smith, I have on my litle librarie Zothique for a lot of time but I haven't read it all yet, is a good point to starting with Clark Ashton Smith?</i><br /><br />Oh, boy, you're in for a treat! Zothique is an ideal starting point, though I may be biased, as I'm a total Zothique fanboy - "The Charnel God," "The Isle of the Torturers," "Necromancy in Naat," "The Last Hieroglyph," and of course "The Empire of the Necromancers."<br /><br /><i>Don't feel too bad about missing the anniversary of Smith's death. You weren't the only one. I missed it, too. I've been trying to reread as many of the Conan tales as I can and blog about them in between my other commitments. I should have been preparing a post about Smith.<br /><br />Anyway, it's good to see a post here by you. </i><br /><br />I really should've checked my IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER file (it's a .txt file on my desktop, and it's in all capitals), I'm sure CAS was there. I really missed the place: I haven't been commenting, but I have to catch up.<br /><br /><i>Welcome back, Al!</i><br /><br />Cheers, Charles! Glad to have another Smithian (there needs to be a name for CAS fans). I simply must get the Nightshade collection, but I'm saving up for a special visitor in December.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-39424608146935356822011-08-17T02:38:04.703+01:002011-08-17T02:38:04.703+01:00Welcome back, Al!

I would say, Francisco, that Zothique is an excellent place to start reading CAS as it contains some fantastic stories, including three of my favorites, The Charnel God, The Witchcraft of Ulua, and The Master of Crabs. But you want to get your hands on the Hyperborea stories as well and read The White Sybil, which is the kind of story only Smith could have written. I highly recommend the recent Nightshade five volume set of CAS, though there's nothing wrong with picking up the classic Ballentine Adult Fantasy volumes edited by Lin Carter. Like Al, CAS is in my top ten list.Charles R.
