This book isn't quite as wonderful as TCOYF but I browsed through this at B&N and found some topics very interesting and helpful
What to Expect Before You're Expecting

Re: Any Other Books I should read?
Your Best Birth
by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein
(they also have a great documentary in case you haven't seen it, called The Business of Being Born)

Pushed, by ?
Misconception, by Naomi Wolf
Sorry, I forgot the author's name to the first one. Neither one is as fluffy as What to Expect. Both challenge the notion that an OBGYN sees all and knows all. Interesting reads.

Re: Any Other Books I should read?
Pushed is by Jennifer Block.
I agree with pp, it was very interesting!
I also really enjoyed Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, by Ina May Gaskin.
this is by far my favorite book of all the pregnancy/childbirth books that I have read (and I have read quite a few; I'll pretty much read anything pregnancy related.  ).
Haven't read misconception yet, but now it is on my list!!

Misconception's author references Ina May's book frequently. Lol that book is on my list!
eta: I'll also read anything TTC/pregnancy/women's health related. Whether you agree with the premise of the book or it makes your blood boil, learning about our health, history, and reproductive options are important.
Stepping of my soapbox now. Carry on.
