I'm just recalling Mishima's novels that I've read over the years and am thinking of reading again soon...The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea I recall was very good and sharp; dark/bright incisive mind...so I think I will begin with this.
At the moment I'm slowly re-reading Camus' The Outsider. Stunning literature.
After Mishima will come a re-reading of Yasunari Kawabata's works.
I like re-reading a book after about a decade. New meanings and nuances flow. I recall I've read Hesse's Steppenwolf 3 times now, the first time when I was 20 and I found it to be very dark and brooding. At 40 years of age I found it to be quite fascinating. At 60 years of age I found it to be very funny/humorous...so it depends when you read things as well as what you read.
