I was keeping a passive eye out for Mishima books for years (frequenting used book stores is a hobby). They were very rare before Murakami popularized Japanese Literature, leading to classic stuff being reissued and circulate more. The first one I got my hands on was Spring Snow (I read it and loved it). I found The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion shortly thereafter (but haven't read them yet).

I also found Runaway Horses and The Temple of Dawn last November (I went on a city-wide hunt for them one weekend, I wanted to try to finish off the Sea of Fertility Tet on the 50th anniversary of his death and watch Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters on the 20th, but I wasn't able to find Decay).

I haven't read everything he's written but, from what I have read, it doesn't seem like you can go wrong with him. (Not to be a dick, but Murakami indirectly causing his books to become more available is probably a bigger contribution to lit than his actual books have been).

Intellectuals of the world wide web, in your educated opinion, do you think it is possible nowadays and in one of the big nations such as the usa/russia/germany/france/whatever for 1 man (with his followers) to not only make a decent coup d'etat attempt but on top of that also succeed and establish a monarchy?
Let's say we have a guy who has all the traits required - he is charismatic, smart, fearless, etc - and dedicates his entire life (or almost his entire life) into accomplishing this one goal. Provided we have a guy like this; what do you think, realistically speaking?
Is it possible for this 1 man to join the military with nothing to start out with, rise in the ranks, inspire the other soldiers, amass a following, and ultimately overthrow the government and restore monarchism in his country?
Let us discuss.
