So far, I'm liking Friel, but I'm really just getting started.

I've also read Carmichael's Training for Coaches (or something like that) that is a collection of essays from other coaches and guys like Hincapie. Pretty cool book with a lot of great tips -- but nothing to construct a program with.

Before that, I hadn't read anything since LeMond's Complete Book of Cycling. There were a few key paragraphs in that huge book that have been cornerstones of my training for 15 years, and have served me well when I actually apply myself.
