I just finished my first Mishima book (Golden Pavillion). Almost dropped it two times in the first half because of boredom, but I'm glad I didn't.
It's beautiful e poetic, and I enjoy the puer aeternus/jungian shadow themes.

What do you think about it? What should I read next?

I like Mishima but I think Golden Pavilion is boring from start to end. Spring Snow is his magnum opus and the first of his tetralogy which is worth reading but the first one is also great just by itself. Sailor Who Fell from Grace is also good but everything else IMO is meh unless you really enjoy the prose.

Star is fun. Mask is great. Golden Pavilion was a little boring to me, but a kino ending.
