Geoff Thomas - Riding through the Storm - knocks Lance's book into a cocked hat, and I liked It's Not About the Bike. Thomas' story has a lot more depth to it due to his football background, and his description of his diagnosis was very moving I thought. It also puts the perils of trying to follow the Tour route out there - ice on the top of the cols in July as it was nearly dark by the time they (mere mortals) reached them.

I also really enjoyed "The Hungry Cyclist", combining two of my great loves, eating and cycling. Those who know me know which of those I'm better at. It tails off a bit at the end, but it's worth reading.
