!bookworms I'm thinking about reading “Confessions of a Mask” by Yukio Mishima, what are your thoughts on him and other Japanese authors? Personally I've never read a book by any Jap author so far (Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki but he's pretty much an Englishman through and through and his best book The Remains of the Day is the quintessential portray of British character).

'The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea' is my favourite Mishima and one of the best books I've read. The only other Japanese author I've read is Murakami and I'd definitely recommend both Norwegian Wood and the IQ84 books

Anime's bad influence cannot be over stated. It was even causing problems back then

I wouldn't start someone with 1Q84 even though it's one of my favourite books of all time, it's a real tome
