What is the best or most interesting soaring book you have read?

I will be choosing a new one out of these, so any recommendations?

On Quite Wings The Art and Technique of Soaring Cross-Country Soaring
The Joy of Soaring Soaring Valley America's Soaring Book Soaring Cross
Country With Wings as Eagles The Powerless Ones The Soaring Pilot Once
Upon a Thermal Glider Flying Gliding A Handbook on Soaring Flight New
Soaring Pilot On Being a Bird Soar America Winning Advanced Soaring
Soar Sierra


Out of those, I would choose Once Upon a Thermal or On Being a Bird.

I'd second that.

I've just been given a copy of "Dancing With The Wind" by Jean-Marie
Clement, which deals with slope and wave soaring. So far I've only
glanced through it but it looks excellent and I expect to learn a lot
from reading it.
