I've already got Another Season, Meat Market, Touchdown Alexander, and From Tragedy to Triumph.
I've got It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium, How good do you want to be? and A season to remember: Faith in the midst of a storm on order and have preordered Lars Anderson's book about the events of April 27, 2011 and the football season that followed.
What are some other good ones I need in the collection? TIA

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer by Warren St. John. Very entertaining read. Not just for Bama fans.

I liked Meat Market because it gave an inside look at a war room. I ordered never rains because for one it was a penny on amazon and secondly from the reviews I've read the guy did a great job of conveying just how much playing at lsu meant to him, and it probably won't come across as whiny to me because I dislike lsu, so I figure that's worth the read.
Looking more for a good read than historical facts. A story from an individual's perspective

You might like this one. Larry Woody was a writer for the Nashville Tennessean at the time. This is about Chucky Mullins and Brad Gaines' relationship after Mullins' injury in the '89 Vandy-Ole Miss game.

Top Dawg by Rob Suggs.
I wouldn't recommend it normally, but you seem to not care if a book is team-centric, and are just looking for anything in general. It's a pretty in depth look at Richt, starting with a little background from his miami days, then coaching FSU, then really gets into the process of him becoming head coach and how he shifted the culture of the program when he got here. The book was written just after the 2007 season I believe, so we hadn't had any shitty years yet which is cool.
Also it's not very long at all, so you can move through it pretty quick.
