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 been feeling a bit off this past week and have had to get back into the groove a bit with work, so I haven’t made any new progress on This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal Eh-Mohtar & Max Gladstone.
Recently Finished
I did however find some time to read through the sixth manga volume of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess by Akira Himekawa. The story has taken a somewhat interesting departure from the game’s story here, shortly after Link deals with finding the mirror shard at Snowpeak Ruins. Unlike the game, Link has quite a lot more personality in this series, and since he’s retrieved the Master Sword he has gotten a bit of a big head about his role as the Hero. In this volume this culminated into an encounter with Dark Link, a recurring adversary type in the games but one that was absent from Twilight Princess. In the end, the spirit of the Hero of Time as a wolf seems to intercede, but I can’t tell if that wolf is supposed to be him in this adaptation, so I’m curious to see where this all goes; I hope we get even more insight into the older hero and the nature of his more spectral existence.
Reading Next
I’m still not really sure what I want to be reading next, but I feel like I need to make up my mind soon because once I get some momentum going with This is How You Lose the Time War I feel like I’m going to finish it fairly quickly. There are many books I’ve mentioned already over the past few weeks that are likely candidates, but I’ve also been thinking a lot about a new book I just bought called I Wear the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman. It’s a collection of essays about our cultural fixations on villains and anti-hero-type characters/figures, from what I can gather, and I’m thinking an essay collection might be a nice change of pace. I really enjoyed Eating the Dinosaur, and this book feels like the topic range will be even more focused in a way that I’ll like.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
