Speaking of books

I have been reading a lot as of late, and was thinking of ordering this one. Has anyone read it?

Inside the Postal Bus



Inside the Postal Bus: My Ride with Lance Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Cycling Team

by Michael Barry

If you've ever wondered what life in the U.S. Postal team whirlwind is really like, Inside the Postal Bus is your ticket to ride. Michael Barry, Lance Armstrong's teammate since 2002, opens the door and invites you in to share a coffee and meet the guys.

Barry, with help from fellow pros George Hincapie and Christian Vande Velde, will take you into the world of the professional cyclist and the final season for America's favorite team, shedding light on the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of the sport. Descriptive stories of the rituals and rigors of the team make this book an entertaining and refreshingly honest look at the riders and life on the road. A must-read for fans of the team and the sport.
