    Love the cover for Lolita here! I know Nabakov said that he didn't want any girls on the book cover. However, many publishers did put girls on the cover. I'm glad this one doesnt.

    You need to pick up The Hearing Trumpet next. Try going in as blind as possible, and let Leonora surprise you. If you like her art you will like this book.

    animal farm is a lot simpler than 1984 for example and a lot shorter too

    I wanted to read Mishima since long time ago, I didn't know it was queer literature, now I NEED to read it... Hey, I can hardly hear u. You may want to use a lapel microphone

    Just a little reminder that Mishima was a literal fascist and a nostalgic of imperial Japan who tried to organise a military coup to overthrow the democratic government, and after seeing he failed he committed suicide by seppuku. I don't mean it implying that you shouldn't enjoy his literature, I myself loved Confessions of a mask, I felt it was precisely this dark and twisted character of the writer what made the story so special; I just think it is important to keep it in mind and reflect on separating the art from the artist, as the comment you made on him looking cool sounded a bit weird to me. Very nice list nonetheless!
