Jericho's new book is fantastic. I'm only on Chapter 20! Far from finished.

Off the top of my head I've read: Jericho's first two Foley Is Good and the Real World is faker than Wrestling Sex Lies and Headlocks Controversy Creates Cash Hogan's Rock's Piper's (entertaining read)
I'm sure there's more I've read along the way.

I made a thread about this ages ago where I reviewed all the ones I've read. Out of the 'Holy Trinity' of wrestling authors I've read Jericho's first 2 (gonna get the third next month) and Foley's first 3. Will read Bret's at some point too.
Out of the ghostwritten ones Bischoff's is by far the best. Its really unique and, if you take some of it with a pinch of salt, provides a really interesting look into the boom years of WCW.

Rock said he's doing a second one which should be really interesting. I want to hear about WM 17, 18 & 28. I would love Undertaker and Vince McMahon books but there's about 0% chance of either.

Love a good wrestling book. My favourites are Foley's first and Bret's. Also a shout out to The Death of WCW, Austin's and Flair's.
There's quite a few on my list to pick up! Its a damn shame wrestling books aren't part of my required uni reading haha, I'd be sorted then.

Great thread.
I've only read Bret's (loved it) and Shawn's (thought it was very watered down, as mentioned) but I've been looking into reading some more and now have some great ideas on whats next thanks to you guys.

Im not a big fan of autobiographies, mainly because they all tend to be "chest thumping, Im the best, everyone was below me, I got screwed" same old whiny stories. Right now, Im reading up on these 3. Belt books more for education, the WWE book is more for bathroom material.

I still love that story form Flair's book of Harley Race driving a rookie Flair and (I think) Dick Slater through mountain passes during a snowstorm, going 80 miles an hour with Flair puking out the back window, all for a bet.
another good one is all the details behind the non-recognized "wins" by Jack Veneno over Flair for the NWA World Title.
and my favorite ever - when Flair defended the Title vs a drugged up Kerry Von Erich who tried pinning a phantom wrestler.

I love the "Wrestlecrap" book. It talks about some of the dumbest wrestlers/gimmicks/angles in wrestling history and is actually pretty damn funny.
Perfect toilet reading. Been positioned atop my throne for a few months now.
