Just curious what you frickos pretend to read.
Mine are
The Coming of Neo Feudalism by Joel Kotkin (Never read it, just have it so I can bring it up as a hailmary to force people out of my house if they over-stay)
War Diary of Yi Sun-sin (no reason except to prove my gook superiority over other gooks)
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (I read 5 pages and called it a day and haven't opened it since 2016)
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino (/lit/ meme book I kinda like)
Might throw on Journey to the End of the Night by some Frenchman so I look fancy.

The Frolic Of The Beasts By Yukio Mishima - I've read a few of Mishima's novels but this has been sitting idle for a while
Why Nations Fail by Acemoğlu and Robinson - Never really finished it yet, been reading a few chapters sparingly. @kaamrev actually motivated me to finish it lmao
Heavenly Bodies by Paul Koudounaris - badass book on bejewelled Christian cult treasures (skeletons of martyrs venerated as relics and adorned in gold,silver,jewels etc..)

I was considering reading some Mishima but Pewdiepie recommended his books and then I was like "I will never read a book recommendation from a weeb youtuber"
How do you like his books?
Those are some cool skelly boys

There's an intensity to his prose I quite like. I guess him being from a literal ultranat samurai family injects a lot of personality into his writing.
It's very modernist in some respect with confessions of a mask especially. There's a huge effusive dialogue in Confessions of a Mask where Kochan sees Guido Reni's painting of Saint Sebastian and goes full RETVRN TO TRADITION & HONOVR
