   Book 25: It Rhymes with Takei. I had read Takei's earlier memoir about being sent to an internment camp with his family. This one details his personal and professional journey, only coming out as a gay man in his sixties, when he had already been in a committed relationship for two decades. It's well-told, poignant and sweet (and a little rage-inducing), showing the fear he had about someone discovering his secret, but also the ways he found to live his life and become the gay icon he is today.
