I Know You Got Soul by Jeremy Clarkson
He covers several of what he considers to be mans grea-*test*-('") mechanical inventions and tells great tales. Full of dry wit and humor and i personally find it hilarious...but i think you need the same sense of humor as the man himself...
Interesting read (humor aside) lots of pointless facts and figures that make these machines seems even more amazing than you already think they are, and you also find out who would win in a fight between James Bond, Terminator and Superman
