I'm at a point where I'm willing to read something by this guy
If you could recommend only two books of his, which would it be?

infinite jest
>>9456487
Sun and Steel, then Confessions of a Mask
>>9456510
One non-fiction, and a novel. Seems a good combo. Just purchased them from amazon, thanks friend.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss him if anyone wants, I just wanted to order two books by him before I went to bed, which I will now do.

Sound of Waves is his most accessible novel, and it's extremely comfy.

Tai Pei
Forbidden Colors and Runaway Horses.
I intensely disagree with people who say The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the sea.
Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Confessions of a Mask
>>9457291
why is that?
I highly recommend watching mishima: a life in four chapters, it's made up of excerpts from four of his books with parts of his life interwoven in (including his final days and coupe attempt). it's also scored by phillip glass
