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
This past week I managed to read a lot of I Wear the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman; I was hoping I’d be able to finish it, but I didn’t quite make that much progress. At the moment, I’m only a little over halfway. I’m sure I’ve felt this way before, but reading through a lot of an essay book in one sitting was a bit of a slog for me. This wasn’t helped by the fact that this isn’t quite hitting my interests in the ways that I was hoping. Don’t get me wrong, Klosterman has some great writing in this book, such as exploring why some people are remembered heroically despite a lot of bad behaviour and the ways that certain people cultivate villainous personas, but this has been a lot more about musicians and athletes than I was expecting, which are spheres that don’t appeal to me very much.
Recently Finished
Over the weekend I read through the eighth volume of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess by Akira Himekawa. After some training from the Hero of Time, the story picked up a lot of momentum here, rocketing Link through two of the game’s dungeons after spending a couple of volumes going off script. Through I feel like these moments have been few and far between, for the most part, I can’t help but notice weakness in the dialogue from time to time. Most notably in this volume was when Midna realizes that the Hero’s Shade is the Hero of Time, which is something she ought to have learned alongside Link in the previous volume. Most often I’m really wondering if the translation job is weak here, but I’ll likely never know for sure. Regardless, with three volumes left I’m excited to see this series through.
Reading Next
Still no new plans are on the table for what I’m reading next. I’m still working on my Carpe Jugulum review, which I lament falling behind on posting, but hopefully I will have it done soon.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
