I'm new here also. My path: I was researching pulp Jungle Adventure stories while preparing to write a New Pulp Jungle Adventure novella (Jace of the Jungle). As part of that research, I looked into the Ki-Gor novels, thought they were pretty generic, then discovered that while that was true of maybe the majority of them, some were quite good.
I found several of the good Ki-Gors here, joined so I could download them, but also so I could look around for other cool stuff and maybe kindred souls.
