What books does Gackt enjoy?

[shinimegami21]

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!

In MALICE MIZER times I think he DID enjoy reading English poems.

The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli -

1513 Italian
The Prince examines the acquisition, perpetuation, and use of political power in the western world. Not intending his writing to be a scholarly treatise on political theory, Machiavelli wrote The Prince to prove his profiency in the art of the state, offering advice on how a prince might gain and keep power. It is a classic study of power—its acquisition, expansion, and effective use.


The Five Rings by Myiamoto Mushashi -

1584 Japan
a Japanese swordsman famed for his duels and distinctive style. Musashi, as he is often simply known, became legendary through his excellent swordsmanship in numerous duels, even from a very young age. He is the founder of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Niten-ryū style of swordsmanship and the author of The Book of Five Rings a book on strategy, tactics, and philosophy that is still studied today.


Confessions of a Mask - Yukio Mishima

Japan 1948
Confessions of a Mask is an account, usually considered at least semi-autobiographical, of a boy growing up in a Japan that is war-torn and militaristic. Entirely unsuited by nature to this environment, the narrator must weave an intricate and profoundly self-defeating facade around himself as he discovers his sexuality. This mask leads him into a pitiful affair with a young woman which only redoubles his fear of his peculiarity, into deceiving his parents, and into effectively becoming further estranged from himself the older he becomes. The novel also becomes fixated upon the link between sexuality and violence, and the narrator's tendency to dream in this vein is recounted with mixed feelings of horror and fascination.

Cook books.
Do those count? I would think cook books with the amount of food his shoves down his throat. Only thing I could think of besides bikini catalogues.

I believe in Malice Mizer days he also liked vampire novels (Anne Rice? LOL), and I know he'd read instruction manuals front-to-back.

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 think he´d enjoy Da Vinci Code ( ZOMGH he likes symbols and mysteria XD )

Not sure about Harry Potter mania and Gackt, I am sure this hit only Hyde XD

Bless you for putting this question up - the answers have been such fun to read! And you're so right - I wouldn't have done it myself, despite your excellent suggestion, because I am too dull

My thoughts about what stuff Gackt might read now went: bills, Korean vocab, fanmail!

As for poetry, I like to imagine that he reads FRENCH poetry as a sort of lingering scent of his Malice Mizer Romantic image.

:D I saw a picture of him reading Death note manga - I could try to find it if you want to :)

also because of the RR2 concept littleflapper pointed to me that he might have read RUR from Capek

and as a guess - maybe he would enjoy something from Poe? ^^
