An enjoyable read, and a great counterpoint to Just a Geek. I think I would have read it faster but kept slowing down to hear Wil's voice in my head.

Some autobiographical short stories by Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher from "Star Trek: Next Generation", Gordie in "Stand by Me"). I follow him on Facebook & have always enjoyed his writing. It's a short collection, interesting, moving, and just wonderful. Go ahead & grab a copy.

I enjoyed these tails. Especially about Star Trek and the conventions. But even a short one about his beloved aunt was a nice touch to get to know Wil better. He does such a great job personalizing these memories to make them relatable. It was disheartening to learn he didn't get on at all with William Shatner, that Shatner treated him like crap. Interesting to learn how he and other actors wore bodysuits. And the fine line he walked of being true to himself and earning fan loyalty at conventions. Tricky!

Four short autobiographical snippets and a longer one about Star Trek that’s illuminating and very funny. Particularly so Wheaton’s run-ins with WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER.

It’s an odd little book. Apparently the whole thing has been done in Open Office running on the Red Hat Linux distro, and it shows. It’s been released under a Creative Commons Licence. Rather an interesting approach.

Short, delightful, and interesting stories. Wheaton's narration really makes the stories come alive.

With just enough Star Trek to pull in Trekkers, Wheaton's tales bring out the proud geek in us.
