Will Wheaton Celebrates The Happiest Days Of Our Lives

He may be “just a geek,” but that doesn’t mean Wil Wheaton is one dimensional. The actor-turned-writer has been an active blogger for years, and readers of that blog (one of the best examples of good blogging in my opinion) know just how deep Wil Wheaton can be. The blog has turned into two books in the past, Dancing Barefoot, and Just A Geek. Now Wil has put together a third book that became available in the last week: The Happiest Days of our Lives.

Like the previous book, this is a collection of personal stories for Wil Wheaton – stories of being a geek and celebrating it. As a departure from the past, however, these are more about growing up as a geek and what that meant as a child of the ‘80s. Being only a few years behind Wheaton and into the same hobbies, these are stories I certainly can relate with.

The book is available through Monolith Press, who Wheaton returns to after a disappointing venture with O’Reily Press for Just A Geek. The site offers the following as the description for The Happiest Days of Our Lives:

“The Butterfly Tree”: how one Back to School night continues to shape Wil’s sense of social justice, thirty years later
“Blue Light Special”: the greatest challenge a ten year-old could face in 1982: save his allowance, or buy Star Wars figures?
“A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Geek”: why fantasy role-playing games are such an important part of Wil’s past – and his present
“The Big Goodbye”: a visit to Paramount gives Wheaton a second chance to say farewell to Star Trek . . . properly, this time
“Let Go”: a moving eulogy for a beloved friend

In all of these tales, Wheaton brings the reader into the raw heart of the story, holding nothing back, and you are invited to join him on a journey through The Happiest Days of Our Lives.

Having read Wheaton’s previous two books, I can’t wait to get my hands on The Happiest Days of Our Lives. Head over to Monolith Press to order your copy now.
