Any Good Conan the Barbarian Books?

I've read all the Robert E Howard material and I was wondering if any posthumous works are worth reading? I know quite a few suck and many are so bad it's good at best, but there's got to be at least one that's decent? Also, I'll read one even if it's bad if it's at least entertaining or funny intentionally or not.

I've heard (not read it myself, unfortunately) that Robert Jordan's Conan novels are pretty good.

Can't reccomend any but I can tell you that if you encounter anything with the name Lin Carter attached, AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

For sure, I don't bother with de Camp's works either. They clearly knew nothing of Conan and turned him into a nobel savage hero who's much more clean. Not to say he wasn't really a marty stew, but at least let him be a badass.
