I just finished reading a book called Ten Points. It is the memoir of Bill Strickland, an editor of Bicycling magazine. It recounts a race season that he tries to score 10 points in. He uses the racing to exorcise the demons of his past.

It is a good story with parts that are disturbing and others that are inspiring. Although it is sold with the cycling books in the sports section of the book store, it really isn't a cycling story. It just often takes place while he's cycling. It is more of a inspirational story.

If you are wondering how I'm able to read and not mow my yard. The answer is easy. You can read with a Golden using you as a pillow, but you can't drive a mower.
