Robert E Howards Conan Texts

For anyone without any prior knowledge of his works, with a vague interest in the lore of AoC and little time or inclination to go book shopping, I found a nice resource in the form of http://gutenberg.net.au, because of Australian copyright laws they are legally allowed to make the following text versions of Howard's Conan works available on the net. This doesn't seem to be a complete list of the Conan works but plenty enough to dive into the world on which the game is based.

The Phoenix on the Sword
The Scarlet Citadel
The Tower of the Elephant
Black Colossus
The Slithering Shadow
The Pool Of The Black One
Rogues in the House
Shadows In The Moonlight
Queen Of The Black Coast
The Devil in Iron
People Of The Black Circle
A Witch Shall Be Born
Jewels of Gwahlur
Beyond the Black River
Shadows in Zamboula
The Hour of the Dragon
Red Nails
Gods of the North
The Hyborian Age

Robert E Howard's work has been in the public domain for a lot of years now.
It's one reason why his work along with Carol Lewis' stuff and other 'classics' are so popular for further exploitation as low budget productions, like the de Laurentis movies featuring that slap of meat.
