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 managed to start reading I Wear the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman since last week, though I’ve only managed the preface and the first essay. Still, it has made for interesting reading so far, with the preface asking a lot of questions about the nature of goodness and how good or bad everyday people may or may not be, turned on the self as well. By the end of the preface, he makes a point about young male fans of Star Wars, as they get older, gravitating away from Luke Skywalker toward Han Solo and then eventually Darth Vader as characters that capture their interest the most. Though the thought is left at the surface level for the most part, it’s an interesting thing to note, as there’s a truth to the observation that’s easy to recognize in my experience that raises questions about why we feel the ways that we do about villains.
Recently Finished
Over the weekend, I managed to read through the seventh volume of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess by Akira Himekawa, which saw Link recovering from his near-fatal encounter with Dark Link and Zant. This volume was quite an interesting departure from the narrative of the game, as none of this happens there at all. Most captivating about it were the further connections made with the game Ocarina of Time, which I wish the Twilight Princess game had put more effort into. The Hero of Time takes up the mantle as a mentor much more firmly in this book, explaining who he is and his past more explicitly, and we see dialogue between Zelda and Ganondorf that explains the connections between the two eras more clearly.
Reading Next
At the moment, I have no new plans on what to read next, other than a tenuous commitment to reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton, if I can do so before October starts.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
