WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme run by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. Check out her post and others over on her blog!
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading
Nothing new at the moment. I’m still technically reading What If? 2 by Randall Munroe, but I haven’t made any progress on it in a little while.
Recently Finished
On Monday I finally finished reading Watership Down by Richard Adams, and I have such weirdly mixed feelings about this book. Though it seems there are a number of books akin to this one about animal societies, I’ve not read much of any of them, so I found this book to be a uniquely weird and earnest reading experience. I wonder how many of the others are like this one; I always heard about this book being for kids, but I think I would’ve bounced right off of it when I was younger. It’s surprisingly dense for what it is, takes its time moving the plot along, and deals with surprisingly heavy subject matter. Toward the end, I was legitimately a little stressed out while reading it. All in all, I think it’s a great book, but I frequently had to force myself to read it, so something about it I struggled with too. I have another review in the pipeline almost finished, but I want to get this reviewed too, hopefully a lot closer to the date I’ve finished reading this time.
Reading Next
As I’ve said in previous weeks, I want to start reading Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky pretty soon. I’m hoping I’ll get this book finished a lot faster after Watership Down slowed my momentum considerably for two months. With that in mind, I can’t help but think about other books I want to start soon after. I’m considering The Truth by Terry Pratchett, but perhaps I may start Authority by Jeff VanderMeer instead. There are a lot of series I feel I need to continue, so I ought to pick up one of those after the last couple of books have been standalone. I need to make myself read more comics too, as usual, but I haven’t decided on what to read next yet.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
