18: Just One More Thing: Stories from My Life, Peter Falk

I've been watching Columbo, hence this collection of anecdotes. Amusing.

17: Cannonball!: World's Greatest Outlaw Road Race, Brock Yates

These guys were mostly idiots, and I sure would have disliked most of them in person, but the book did make me want to drive rather quickly cross-country.

Some of the silliness of the movies is based surprisingly closely on actual events.

16: Le Petomane, Jean Nohain and F. Caradec

Anca found it at a used bookstore in San Mateo.
