You're not part of the demographic, sadly. Sex change and being a complete wuss are unfortunately needed. Which I found out the hard way.
Edit: I'm currently reading the Fritz Lieber's Second Book of Lankhmar, a collection of the later Gray Mouser stories. It's not as light-hearted and adventurous as the First Book, but the writing on the other hand is quite a bit more solid and the characters have actually matured, which isn't something you can find often in swords and sorcery novels. Fafhrd is seriously one of my favorite characters, ever. It's true that Lieber has interposed features on the characters that are not exactly believable in the late medieval scope of things, but that's just what makes them so spellbinding. It's like Mouser and Fahrd look and comment on things beyond the focalizer of main characters, in a way they criticize Lieber himself and the genre. It's a bit immersion-breaking, needs a bit of suspension of disbelief, but escapism isn't something I'm looking for anyway. I love how the writer can be ironic and still carry the story forward, without seeming out of place.
