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
I’ve managed to make substantial progress in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton since last week. There has been an alteration to my work schedule, and while I would have rather it didn’t happen, it has allowed for an extended period of time where I can get some reading done. As such, in that period of time I was able to progress from page 173 to 290. Those probably still sound like rookie numbers to others, but that’s quite a lot for me with what my schedule had been lately. A lot has progressed in the novel in that number of pages, with much dinosaur mayhem ensuing. A moment I didn’t at all recall from my first reading that really stuck out to me was the exposure of the grievous error in the park’s monitoring system. The numbers of raptors jumping from 8 to 37 once the parameters changed made for a great, startling revelation considering its implications.
Recently Finished
Nothing this week.
Reading Next
I recently acquired a copy of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which I mean to try and read soon. Though it is technically a book on it’s own, it’s very short, as it’s a paperback binding of a single short story. I’ve been hearing a lot of interesting things about this short horror story, especially as a piece of feminist literature, which have me really interested in checking it out. I’ll probably have to temper my expectations, as I feel like there’s a possibility this something of a topic-of-the-week on BookTok, but by all accounts it has stood the test of time, so I don’t think I’ll need to worry too much about that. I really could read it in a sitting, so I do hope I make myself read it before next week, but I can be a fickle creature sometimes.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
