"It is only Black people from whom we demand absolute and unveiled perfection."

Chew on this with me, fellow white people.

Still trying to read it, been going through a rough spot and reading is hard, even short stories. I hate that, but it's the truth.

I've been unable to focus much lately. So, let's try some short stories.

Written with inside access, comprehensive research, and a down-to-earth perspective, Phasers on Stun! chronicles the …
This book is essential reading for die-hard fans of Star Trek, of course, but it's also suitable for anyone interested in television history, how media and Hollywood affect society, and American Studies students (although it does have some international reach). The author writes conversationally, interspersing a few personal anecdotes, and demonstrating his own love for Star Trek. It's essential to have an author really love their subject, but all too often popular history books are about topics the author can't really connect with - this is a clear exception.
As a major Star Trek fan, I was pleased to find there were tidbits in Phasers on Stun that I didn't know myself - little factoids I'd never heard before, from the production of most series. The interviews were also outstanding and I am impressed with the author's reach, interviewing even somewhat reclusive members of the Trek community. The analysis here …

The analysis here is top notch, too, and I especially appreciate the deep focus on LGBTQ representation in Trek.
I genuinely don't feel there are flaws with this book, and although I received a copy from NetGalley to review, I am being quite honest. The book covers right up to its publication date, including the imminent debut of Strange New Worlds. Highly recommended for any Star Trek fan, and a must-read for the hardcore folks.
Picked up #TheHistoryoftheLondonUndergroundMap via #NetGalley - this is my kind of nerdery. If there can be a 200+ page book about any map, it's the Tube map.
"To my interpreter friends, I’m sorry for taking liberties with your job."
I feel like this quote from the acknowledgements is insufficient to describe the astonishingly bad depiction of interpreters in this book. It's a barely passable murder mystery, but the deafness is layered on like buttercream and the interpreter role is 180 degrees from actual interpreters. I finished this book out of pure stubbornness.
