Conan

The Conan books are classics that helped form the early fantasy genre during the 30's, and along with Karl Wagner's Kane books and Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser series, Howard's work helped create the Sword and Sorcery genre. To say Conan has been influential on modern fantasy and pop culture at large would be a vast understatement.Don't let the fact that these books are nearly 100 years old scare you from reading them. They are dark, compelling, and richly evocative reads. And hey, by reading them, you can lord this fact over all the other 95% of the fantasy nerds who claim to love Fantasy but have never read one of the pillars of the genre.
