Like you, I've been intending to catch up on some of the 'golden age' stuff that either I missed out on first time round or read it when I was too young to really appreciate it and really can't recall it at all, now. Unfortunately I've found that reading some of the 'classics' for the first time has led to disappointment. Like you I didn't really get hooked by the stories in Swords and Deviltry (but will try some of the later ones at Kari's suggestion). I was also massively disappointed by Nine Princes in Amber because I'd had so many recommendations. I know it has its staunch devotees, but maybe you had to read it at the time (and with a much younger head) to become a true, lifelong afficionado.
