ANON THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE THE EMPEROR IS TO SUCK MY DICK

He was right about everything.

I just finished The Sound of Waves by Yukio Mishima, and really enjoyed it. The problem I'm having, however, is deciding whether or not I should read more of his works; considering the whole Fascism thing and all. Any advice? Are his other books worth a shot?

Where do i start /lit/

“When a boy discovers that he is more given into introspection and consciousness of self than other boys his age, he easily falls into the error of believing it is because he is more mature than they. This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of understanding themselves as I had: they could be their natural selves, whereas I was to play a part, a fact that would require considerable understanding and study. So it was not my maturity but my sense of uneasiness, my uncertainty that was forcing me to gain control over my consciousness. Because such consciousness was simply a steppingstone to aberration and my present thinking was nothing but uncertain and haphazard guesswork.”

This is a bit too close to home.

What the fuck was his problem?

So we are just gonna ignore that most of the posters in this thread sound like 12 year-old kids from Facebook who have never read a book on philosophy in their life, huh?

What right-wing and conservative authors are you reading right now /lit/?

What such authors would you recommend to lefties in order to challenge themselves and their beliefs?

All species of conservative welcome, from socials to neos to reactionaries to greens to culturals to liberals.
