10. To the Stars by George Takei
This surprised me by being a really good book. I picked it up at the library because I had heard that Sulu (Takei) and Kirk (William Shatner) had some bad blood between them and I was wondering what it was all about. I have never watched all of the original Star Trek episodes, I didn't become a fan until The Next Generation, but I liked the classic Star Trek movies and I'm a fan of Denny Crane (Shatner) on Boston legal. I thought I would get this just to read about the Star Trek portion of George Takei's life and ended up finding the whole thing interesting. I have never read a lot about World War II, so I found the account of George Takei at age 4 living in an internment camp very informative. His account of the self-centered Shatner made me wonder what the other actors thought of him, and I decided to read each of their biographies.
