The Quotable Cyclist, by Bill Strickland

Summary: As the title might imply, this is a collection of quotes from a wide assortment of people about various topics related to biking.

Comments: This was a really interesting book. The parts related to racing aren't necessarily things I can relate to, but it was kind of a glimpse into a part of the world I know little about. And there was plenty besides that. Quite possibly the most interesting part is that the quotes don't just come from people in the cycling world but also people such as Albert Einstein and Shaquille O'Neal. This book has the advantage of being something you can put down, pick back up, and skip ahead without losing track of what's going on since each chapter is fairly self-contained and only sort of has a thread going (though there does seem to be a decent amount of organization to the quotes).
