The three books of Foley (and also Tietam Brown, and the Christmas book, if we're counting, cough). The Rock Lita The Hardy Boys Kurt Angle Chyna Eddie Guerrero Shawn Michaels Batista Chris Jericho Bret Hart Roddy Piper William Regal
I got all the way to the end of Stone Cold's and for some reason, never finished the last chapter. Forgot where I left off. Got halfway through Hogan's before I stopped caring.

the only one i've read is hogan's and you can say what you want about him, this book is fantastic, it spans his life from being a young wrestling fan in a band to his match with the rock at wm. it is a truly good read with some funny points and a some nice stories about his good friend andre the giant, i've just started reading the hardcore diaries

In no particular order:
Chris Jericho-A Lion's Tale The funniest damn book I've ever read. This is a must for any wrestling fan.
Bret Hart A great read with nothing held back. Very insightful about the way Vince treated Hogan and Shawn above everyone else. Would have loved to see the Warrior vs. Bret match at Wrestlemania IX which he talks about.
Mick Foley-Have A Nice Day A very funny, intelligent book. Highly recommended. Foley is Good Goes on a lot of rants, but still a good read. Hardcore Diaries Seems to be promoting his charitable work and basically says he just wrestles when he needs money.
Jerry Lawler-It's Good to Be King...Sometimes Another hilarious book. The story of his divorce is heartreaking.
Steve Austin-The Stone Cold Truth Decent read, most of his life was known anyway.
Shawn Michaels-Heartbreak and Triumph A good read, but not very detailed.
Ric Flair-To Be the Man With as long as his career was, you'd think this would be longer. Decent read.
Chyna-If You Only Knew Not worth reading
The Rock-The Most Electrifying Man Half is written by the Rock, the other half is written by a ghost writer writing as the Rock in character (Confusing, I know)
Kurt Angle-It's True, It's True Decent read. Not a lot of wrestling stories since he was relatively new.
Adam Copeland-On Edge Pretty funny and interesting, seeing he had never been world champion at the time this was written.
Batista-Unleashed. Decent read. Nothing phenomenal.
Eric Bischoff-Controversy Creates Cash Not nearly as interesting as it was promoted to be.

Ok so I've read quite a few WWE books. I got through most of these books fairly quickly because I was working as a graveyard security guard at the time. So instead of falling asleep I brought a book to keep me awake, lol. Anyways here's my list.
Mankind (Mick Foley's 1st. Book) The Rock The Stone Cold Truth Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Jerry "The King" Lawler Eric Bischoff Rowdy Piper's (Which I got autographed:) ) Owen Hart (Only got halfway because of the attitude that Martha Hart gives off, with good reason if you are in her shoes. But I think that maybe this book should have been made now rather than right after his death when everything was still so raw for her.)
Books that I have, but yet to read: Eddie Guerrero Foley's other 2 books

Cant tell ya bout Bret's, but Jericho's is a must-read. I was skeptic just because im not his biggest fan, but I was laughing my ass off like three chapters in. The funniest part for me (non-spoiler) was when he talks about having a ladder-match in his school gym. What chapter was the ladder match? chapter 2, page 20 (just looked it up) i believed the little lie he told, and when i read the next part, i died laughing.

Hulk Hogan - It was an ok book, his ego kinda ruined the book though. A Lion's Tale - The best wrestling book I have ever read, hands down. To Be the Man - Very good book. Adam Copeland: On Edge - Good book, could've had more details on his early career though. Ted Dibiase - Good book, and made me a fan of his. Foley is Good - Hilarious and great book. The second best wrestling book.

All of Foley's except Hardcore Diary - All Amazing The Rock's - Also Good Are We There Yet - Amazing Hardy Boyz - Was great Journey Into Darkness - One of the best books period The Rise and Fall of ECW - Pretty much the DVD in paper form Goldberg's - Was really good as one of the only WCW books. WWF Wrestlemania - Was really good. WWE Unscripted - Meh bought it for 3 bucks lol
Next one I want to read is either Regal, Jericho, or Hart.

well quite frankly no book touches Bret Hart's.
HBK's was a nice good feel read, hogan's was all ego and the biggest waste of paper ever, Angles was dreadful as was The Rock's. Erm, Batista's was pretty poor, lets not even mention chyna's!, didnt enjoy foleys, i enjoyed are we there yet also.

i've read hbk's book and bret's book. Bret's book is good but you lose alot of respect for him. He admits to cheating on his wife countless times and is very bitter about his life. Interesting read though.
