To The Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei | George Takei

pick

🎧📚 I LOVED this book! I melted into the pages! You can only imagine the life the author has led until you read this. The story he tells predates his birth and sheds so much light on the Star Trek world he was involved in!! It‘s his life. The good, the bad, the rude, the sad, the fun and the amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

Twainy I‘m still adding books from the June readathon … sorry. 3y

Prairiegirl_reading I read his graphic novel last year and it is also excellent. I‘m not a huge Star Trek fan but I can imagine how interesting this one would be. 😄 3y

Twainy @Prairiegirl_reading there‘s a graphic novel? I‘m going to look for that. 3y

Prairiegirl_reading It‘s mostly about his childhood and the internment camps but it is excellent! Sorry I should have tagged it for you previously. 😄

Twainy @Prairiegirl_reading thank you. I‘ve heard him talk about some of the things in the book before, it‘s genuinely very interesting. 3y

From time in internment camps to political activism to his acting career, I enjoyed spending some time with and getting to know George Takei. He comes across as nice, generous, clever, and funny. I think he‘d be funny to hang out with. This book was published in 1994, so it‘s interesting to see what was left out. On it goes! #LMPBC

Lindy Have you read his new memoir in comics format? I loved it.

Hooked_on_books @Lindy I‘ve heard him talk about it on a podcast (he was marvelous), but I‘m not a fan of the GN format. I‘m thrilled that he did it, though, and his timing is unsurprising given current attitudes. 4y

Great #bookmail day! My #LMPBC has arrived. I look forward to spending some time with George. @Shadowfat I can tell you have a cat! My one dog had her head inside the mailer after I removed the book, sniffing and licking. 😆 And @Soubhiville my Christmas box has arrived! I‘m super excited to see what‘s inside, but I‘ll be good and wait two more days. 😇 Thank you!

Soubhiville I‘m glad it got there in time! ❤️💚❤️🎄 4y

Shadowfat Haha yes I have cats and a dog 🙂 I'm glad it made it to you! 4y

I'm so glad I finally read this! This autobiography is from the 90s, so it covers his childhood and career up to that point. Now to watch more Star Trek over break! It's on it's way to you @Hooked_on_books . @BookishBelle @Wife #lmpbc group B.

Hooked_on_books I really look forward to this. I know a little about his childhood and look forward to learning more. And that bookmark is perfect! 4y

As of last night, I have now met 3 of the original cast members of Star Trek. George Takei was sweet and greeted everyone warmly. I think he was amused by my entourage that accompanied me to get my book signed. I‘m looking forward to reading it! #georgetakei #theycalledusenemy

Graciouswarriorprincess So cool and I'm so jealous! You will love the book as I just read it and would love to meet him in person! 5y

charl08 Wow! I've just finished it, what a story, and what a powerful legacy. 5y
