Authors did not seem like a good fit for the subject material

Howard's obsession with skin color and disgusting racism (bad even for the time in which it was written) eventually becomes too much. My breaking point was in “Shadows in Zamboula” a place whose degeneracy was supposedly apparent because it was populated by mixed-race people. 

Every story is another ivory-skinned white woman in peril of being ravaged by another brutish, monstrously-strong person of color. Pass.

was bored

Drier than a cuneiform tablet buried in the Al-Hajarah. 

Not my thing

SO edgy. So Bored.

Ran out of time, might go back to it in the future

Got distracted

A well-written, but miserable, slog.

The kind of thing you read when you're a teenager and don't know any better.

Rapidly became bored.
