I read most of Riding with the Blue Moth while sitting at bookstore (yes, I skipped around, but I read at least half of it--I had a lot of time to kill) and found it depressing.

I have Bike for Life It's more like a reference book, but there are lots of good stories like that of John Howard, and the authors' accounts of their epic rides.

I watched The Flying Scotsman on pay-per-view the other day, and I'd like to read that book.
