You can start anywhere with Mishima other than the books that come after Spring Snow. Start with anyone of them that sounds the coolest desu. I started with Confessions of a Mask and that one is still my favorite. The works I was least impressed with was Sailor and Sun & Steel.

Out of curiosity, in regard to reading overall, have you found that the Greek plays have been helpful in understanding references or making interesting connections? I can't really say I have with the Iliad and Odyssey past some references in Plato so far.

Barely, unfortunately. I know what I like in fiction and so I've been able to build up a pretty decent collection, but I feel like I don't even know where to begin with interesting non-fiction.

Yeah this always makes me laugh a bit. I bought it at a thrift shop (most stuff here is thrifted actually) and I've been trying to thrift the other two ever since.

>>16317362
