The modern world spends a lot of time having to deal with the most insufferable celebrities imaginable, so it's easy to have a warped view of humans who end up in the limelight. That's why I put together a reading list of memoirs from pleasant celebs to get that disgusting taste out of my mouth.

Of course, nobody is perfect or nice all the time, but these memoirs are from folks who have a reputation of being genuinely pretty cool. If you have others in mind, feel free to call 'em out in the comments below. Now, let the good vibes begin.

'I Am Spock' by Leonard Nimoy

Nimoy is obviously known for his work on "Star Trek," but he was prolific. From singing about hobbits to narration to photography, he was so much more than just Spock. However, he never shied away from the role that made him famous, and this book goes deep into his time spent with the franchise.

'Wishful Drinking' by Carrie Fisher

Fisher didn't have an easy life, and it notably ended much too soon, but her story lives on in this delightful memoir. She's brutally honest about some of the worst moments in her life, and deals head-on with addiction — the disease that ultimately took her from us. Even during the tough times, her charm shines through.

'If You Ask Me' by Betty White

Betty White transcends generations better than anyone. She stayed in the public eye for decades, and had a heck of a time doing so. She's best known for portraying a character without much smarts, but her real-life wit truly comes through on the page.

'Lucky Man' by Michael J. Fox

Fox will always be Marty McFly to us, but that's not likely how he'll actually be remembered. Sure, he was in some very notable roles as an actor, but his prominent advocacy for medical research since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the early '90s will have a much greater impact on the world than his iconic characters.

'Love, Lucy' by Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball was undeniably a pioneer who helped establish what television and modern media could be — a woman with real power in a heavily male-dominated industry. On top of that, she was openly supportive of LGBTQ rights in a time where that was deeply unpopular publicly. I can't help but love Lucy and her memoir.
