Topic: Summer reads

Reading is a good habit.

Especially during summer, I always tend to read at least a book and many people still enjoy reading on vacation, while travelling, at the beach, etc.

This topic is focused on what are we currently reading, what's your companion on holiday?

I chose Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - The Novel and just started it. I love the series and I'm collecting novels and mangas, but I prefer the first ones since they cover all the games. I also find them a great way to refresh your memories about the "side" titles that you won't like to play again (I already finished it both originally on 3DS and with 2.8 collection).

@andreverts It's quite late To be responding to this thread, but I have a few suggestions for you! If you like gaming novels, there are a few CYOA Super Mario books from the 90's that are a fun distraction, and if you don't mind manga, the Toon Link* focused manga are a refreshing read (*phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, windwaker). Personally I chose the book "The Store"by James Patterson as my holiday companion. It is a pleasure to read through, and gets you thinking about the real world afterwards. It may not be a holiday, but any days off count as holiday time to me.

@MetaCrystal there's spirit tracks manga?!!!!!! Has it been translated to english?

I recently got From Ants to Zombies, a retro gaming book about the history of horror video games.

I also am burning through Fist of the North Star. I just finished Vol 7. I’ve got 8-10 staring at me along with a mountain of other comics.

Hip Hop Family Tree Onmibus
The Scumbag
The Complete Irredeemable, Incorruptible and Insufferable

…and way too much more to list.

I mainly.ready manga to improve my Japanese reading ability. To that end--

Just finished 'In the Heart of Kunoichi Hibiki'. Anti-climatic ending...

Ijiwanaide, Nagatoro-San - started off great but since the main character finished high school, it has dropoed in quality, IMO.

@RetroGamer5491
My mistake, I meant to reference the Phantom Hourglass manga. There is an official Manga for almost every mainline Zelda game (with some notable exceptions like Spirit Tracks and Majora’s Mask) and they are all OFFICIALLY translated. You can buy entire box sets of them or even find some at your library. There are multiple manga for the first four games, and they ooze the energy of the Era.

@MetaCrystal Thanks for the clarification. I've read most of the ones you mentioned. Is there by any chance a translated manga of Wind Waker?
