pan(1982) Kirk and Spock trade places as captain and first officer under a nonsensical premise. Spock turns into a tyrant, Kirk into a toddler learning the boundaries of “no.“ Turns out their adversary is provoking aggression for scientific reasons, but that leads nowhere interesting. I'd been warned by @RamsFan1963 that this was a bad one. I don't think I disliked it as much as he did but I do think the best part was the first blank page at the end
pickLoved it. Quick, engaging read. I enjoyed learning about both Leonard and Bill through this book. A lot of great stories about their friendship. As a Star Trek fan, I did appreciate that a lot of it was about Star Trek.
Seeing that this is the only work of fiction I read in April, I guess it gets this month‘s win by default.

pickThe narrative of his memoir is really well done. He was acting all over the place, leaving the child-rearing to his wife, who was also a choreographer professional in her own right. He cheated on both his first and his second wives. I do appreciate the difficult circumstances he came from. He was lucky that he had so many caring adults looking out for him. He was thoughtful about all his roles and how he treated his workmates.
pickOh George, you can read to me anytime with that deeply mesmerizing voice of yours! This amazing Star Trek actor/activist shares such moving stories: spending his childhood imprisoned in American “relocation” camps during WWII(as depicted in his stirring graphic novel), meeting Gene Roddenberry, landing his most iconic role aboard the Enterprise & remaining longtime friends with the cast. Even tho Shatner tried to steal all the best lines!😁🖖🏻
April 3rd #DynamicDs Doorway. As a Star Trek fan who can forget the famous doorway, I only like the first Star Trek as 10 year old me had a crush on William Shatner. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis was utter perfection. I absolutely adored the conversations between Nimoy and Spock. I love that Spock was almost this alter ego he could talk to in his head about all sorts of things. I don‘t know about everyone else, but as far as I‘m concerned, it‘s not possible to think of Spock without thinking of Nimoy. Through Spock, Nimoy will live forever. What a beautiful human being. What a beautiful book.

I don‘t know about anyone else, but the first thing I think of when I hear Spock, is Nimoy as Spock. All other actors who play Spock are held up against Nimoy as the ideal. Nimoy will live forever through Spock, and that‘s pretty awesome.

I‘m feeling very much led in this direction this afternoon. I got quite a laugh out of the mental image of Spock as midwife by @Bookwomble . I don‘t think I‘ll be getting that out of my head anytime soon. Also, I have never been more excited for a book read by the author… sorry Wil.

“I'm only human, and I have no doubt Spock will outlive me by many years. I can only hope that, once in a while, when people look at Spock's visage, they might sometimes think of me.”
