My two most recent reads were 'Lolita' and 'On the Edge: My Story' by Richard Hammond.
Lolita is an excellent, excellent piece of literature. It's beautifully written, even though the pacing is quite slow and deliberate. I think the slow pace is quite intentional though, and important to the feel of the novel as you reach the climax. A very good read despite there really being no sympathetic characters.
On the Edge wasn't really what I was expecting either, but I did enjoy reading it. It's entirely about the crash, and Hammond's recovery from the serious brain injury he sustained. There are anecdotes from his childhood, and from when he started on Top Gear, but they're really there to help illustrate the backstory. A large chunk of the middle section is written by Mindy, his wife, who stayed with him in the hospital in the weeks after the accident.
I found the book really interesting and quite moving, but it's probably quite a bit different from Jeremy Clarkson's books, for example.
