What books does Gackt enjoy?

Lt. Colonel KK got me thinking about this!

True responses, and lolarious ones, are very much welcomed!

I would say: English poems. I dunno why they would be in English. ^^;;; I just can't imagine anything else!

I don't think he has much time to read xD

No idea about books, but regarding manga, I wonder whether he still likes Banana Fish... And if I remember correctly he once recommended a manga called Piano no Mori, for which I had scanlations of the first volume (but lost them somewhere along the way -o-) and kind of liked it.

I've found a short plot summary (because the only thing I remember about it is the piano in the wood LOL):
A tranquil tale about two boys from very different upbringings. On one hand you have Kai, born as the son of a prostitute, who's been playing the abandoned piano in the forest near his home ever since he was young. And on the other you have Syuhei, practically breast-fed by the piano as the son of a family of prestigious pianists. Yet it is their common bond with the piano that eventually intertwines their paths in life.

Definitely sounds Gackt-ish I'd say.

Banana Fish was a very popular and influential manga in the 80's early 90's, it has to deal with two friends who have to contend with a powerful drug and the gangs who push it. The lead characters names are Ash and Eiji, so some have thought that certain songs of Gackt's were influenced by the manga. It is a forerunner of the modern 'boys love' genre with a love relationship between the two principal male characters - but eschews bubbles and flowers for a gritty dynamic style and exciting plot, which means male readers could enjoy it as well as female readers.

LOL!! And Banana Fish, I can see how that might have influenced Moon Child from your summary of it :)
