I recommend Fignon's book to anyone interested in pro-cycling in this era.
Though he does admit to some occasional drug use it seems trivial compared to the EPO era that followed and should not overshadow his achievements and panache. It's unlikely we'll see someone with his headstrong aggressive style win the TDF again.

For me Paul Kimmage's book is the one that really shows the life of a pro-cyclist which for most consists of losing, pain and suffering for little reward. His was the first book to really 'spit in the soup' on the conspiracy silence on drugs and this was before EPO.

Lance Armstrong now just pisses me off with denials. Does he think we really believe that he was the only major cyclist of his era not doping? and that he was so good he still thrashed everyone. For me he would get more respect if he just came clean now, it's just a matter of time before the truth comes out.
