every single one of them interests me, but death interests me much more. i read about how having a death in a mediocre body was unacceptable for mishima, he also wanted a heroic death, if i read correctly. makes all the more sense this guy died committing seppeku, unbelievable.

Starting strength. If you read sun and steel and didn't develop a fascination with how your body connects to you and make you want to go do things, then I am sad for you.

Read the Sea of Fertility tetralogy. Start with Spring Snow and then Runaway Horses. Then you can read the other two if you wish.

GOOD. FEEL THE MIND BODY CONNECTION. LET IT FLOW THROUGH YOU. THE BODY DOES NOT THINK. IT IS FORM UPON THE EARTH. BEAUTY IN THE DYING LIGHT OF LIFE. USE IT AND FEEL YOUR TRUE SELF.
