Not seen a thread about this before. What cycling books have you read or do you own? What would you recommend reading? Am not a big book reader but i'll read any books if they're concerned with cycling. My list consists of:

'The Fastest Man On Two Wheels - In Pursuit Of Chris Boardman' by Phil Liggett.
'Miguel Indurain' by Noel Truyers.
'Cycling Health & Physiology' by Ed Burke.
'In Pursuit Of The Yellow Jersey' by Samuel Abt & James Startt.
'Rough Ride' by Paul Kimmage.
'Breaking The Chain' by Willy Voet.
'Put Me Back On My Bike' by William Fotheringham.
'It's Not About The Bike - My Journey Back To Life' by Lance Armstrong.

Anyone read any of these? Anyone read anything else and would recommend anyone else to read?

I read "It's Not About The Bike." It was a good read, and I'd recommend anyone who follow's Lance's carreer to read it, also. I asked for "Every Second Counts" for Christmas. We'll have to see if that one is as good as Lance's first...

I read "the Handbook of Competitive Cycling" (by Achim Schimid) and it's realy good for learning how to set up a training schedual. I also asked for the "Noblist Invention" for Christmas, someone on the forums posted a review for It and they seemed to like it. It's about the invention of the bicycle and it has a forward by Lance Armstrong.
