I Am Spock | Leonard Nimoy
post image
Pickpick

This 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.

AnnCrystal Absolutely fact... truthfully, I never watched Star Track, my older brother was the fan. Yet I know Leonard Nimoy because of Spock 🖖✨🛸✨💝. 4d
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I think in the 50s and 60s, people knew him for all sorts of things (he did westerns and tons of things), he even did other things in the 70s, but kids in the 80s, 90s, and beyond, he IS Spock. He‘s not separable from Spock, no matter who plays him now. I love that for him. It‘s just so beautiful. I guess I get where in the early 2000s he wasn‘t so sure. 4d

I don't know why the database lists this book as being written by that Goodman guy. It was written by Una McCormick, an excellent writter, a even better academic and an all around delight. Restarted it three years after first trying it. Covid ate my brain.

“It has long been my custom, before embarking upon a great voyage, to set my affairs in order.“

Bookwomble The Memory Alpha wiki says this about it: "First announced with a October 2018 release date associated with author David A. Goodman, it was later promoted as edited by Una McCormack with a revised release date in September 2021." Amazon still has a secondary association with Goodman, and I guess that's where Litsy has picked up the incorrect info. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Autobiography_of_Mr._Spock 8mo
tournevis @Bookwomble Good to know, but sad for Una. 8mo
Bookwomble @tournevis True. Litsy, along with StoryGraph, often seems to default to alphabetical ordering of multiple authors regardless of their actual priority. It's annoying! 8mo

tournevis @Bookwomble But it makes mistakes regardless. I entered my latest book myself, placing myself as the main author, and my name starts with an earlier letter than my collaborator, and she still got first billing in the tag. 🤷‍♀️ 8mo
Bookwomble @tournevis Yeah, I've had the same thing happen on books I've added (not written, though! Go you! 🖖😃). It's an annoying system peccadillo. 8mo
tournevis @Bookwomble Also, thanks! 8mo

Started this on the train. Una is a wonderful author (and a very nice person) who always perfectly nails character voices, and she delivers here. Very much enjoying it. Also, I know for a fact that this Goodman guy did virtually nothing on this book. Yet, he gets credit. Grrr.

You know this had to happen.

Branwen This is my FAVORITE picture in the whole book! 😃🖖 4y
GingerAntics @Branwen it has to be, really. It‘s just so perfect. 🖖🏻 That‘s also my new favourite emoji!!! In my reading journal I use the rating system from litsy because it‘s so much easier than figuring out star ratings. Instead of 🤘🏻, I have both of these books 🖖🏻 as a rating. 😂 Maybe that will be the top rating for nerdy books or space books or something from now on 4y
Branwen @GingerAntics I love that idea so much! 🖖💖🖖 4y

My favourite characters are generally these two. Spock just a little more than Scotty, but I do love a good Scot, so he‘s a really close second.

I Am Not Spock | Leonard Nimoy
post image
Pickpick

This is not Leonard Nimoy disavowing Spock. It is just a catchy title of a memoir of how he became the character and how he had to occasionally separate himself from it and not look at the rest of mankind as “humans“ 😂
He highlights his tendency to get bored with the characters that he plays - this is the reason why he was happy that the Star Trek TV show ended after the 3rd year and why he left the Mission Impossible series after 2 years on it.

Smarkies #TIL the Vulcan hand sign was based physical representation of the Hebrew letter “shin”. Nimoy referenced this symbol on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands. 4y

1️⃣ Guardian, by Priest. It's Chinese and not in the database. (The series is pretty good so far too)
2️⃣ Science fiction.
3️⃣ The many Star Trek Fotonovels back in February. I've only started reading for fun again in the last couple weeks.
