/lit/ - Literature

I want to get a book in Japanese as a gift for my mom who used to study Japanese. It can’t be manga/anime crap. What Japanese book would you recommend for a 55 year old white woman?

What is some manlet-core for a 5'10" midget like me?

Was he right that writing is not enough and one must work on the body?

is mishima basically murakami for closeted faggots instead of art hoes?

What are the best books on self-discipline? Not memerson bed-making advice though.
