WEIRD BEGINNINGS, Robert E. Howard & Bobby Derie.
Currently reading Brimstone by Preston & Child. I read the first four or five Pendergast novels when they first came out; time to catch up!

I am several Pendergast novels behind myself. I tend to wait a few years until I have four or five unread, then binge them like I'm a college student with a bottle of cheap Canadian whiskey.

Highly recommended -- I think I actually like Corum better than Elric.

I enjoyed the Count Brass series some years ago so I expect that the Corum books would be good too. I only ever read the first Elric book and that was probably two decades ago!
David Gemmell’s Ravenheart, book 3 of The Rigante
I finished Moorcock’s The Knight of Swords and started the Queen of Swords on today’s plane ride.
"Empire Star" by Delaney. Got a bunch of "Ace Doubles" both stuff I have read like Antropol/The Time Mercenaries and lots I'd never seen till I studied covers on Pixiv for art practice.

Work travel coupled with a nasty head cold slowed my reading. I’m still enjoying Moorcock’s The Queen of Swords and pecking at Weird Talers by Booby Derie a bit
Mod
Taking a break from Moorcock and delving into book 2 of Dave Duncan’s 7 Swords trilogy as a buddy read
Mod
The Thief who went to War! Michael McClung's latest in his delightful Amra series.
