By ElJamoquio. You should read it too.

If you haven't read 'A Dog in A Hat' you should really read that first. Buy them both right now. And while you're there, buy

I didn't like it QUITE as much, but if you loved A Dog in a Hat you'll like Come and Gone. It didn't resonate quite as much, to me, because it wasn't talking about Belgium and Paris-Roubaix - it was talking about Thrift Drug and NORBA. Which are still good.
You can definitely tell it's the same author.

Dog in a Hat is definitely better, but it is still good. Dog in a Hat is much more revealing. Like he is moving the curtain aside to show you the wizard. Come and Gone, is more of just a chronicling. "Then I did this race. Then I did that race. Then I joined this team."
It is still very entertaining, especially if you like bikes...

For those looking for something else, I can recommend two awesome books that I've read recently.
1. Where Men Win Glory
2. Lone Survivor
3. 10 Points
4. Patrick Swayze Autobiography (Yes, I read it. Yes, I have a man-crush on PS. Yes, it was a great book. Carry on.)
