40. Star Trek Movie Memories by William Shatner
This is along the same lines as Star Trek Memories, mostly quotes by other people. But I liked the section where he explained the reasoning behind Star Trek V, easily the worst Star Trek movie of all time, which William Shatner directed and had the idea for the plot. It was funny to read about because his explanation sounded to me like how he wanted to make a really awful movie and other people stepped in and turned it into a mildly awful movie. Apparently he wanted the Star Trek crew to actually find God instead of an alien pretending to be God. I can't really say that this is a reflection of how bad Shatner's story ideas are, though, because I think Walter Koenig is a really good writer even though I didn't like any of his story ideas for The Next Generation.
