I enjoyed this look at not just the San Francisco earthquake, but also other earthquakes that have happened in North America. This book does get very scientific in some spots, but it does tell an interesting story.

The book is supposed to be about the SF Earthquake, but is really more about the author and his adventures in geology. The actual earthquake doesn't appear until late in the book and is only discussed in 1 or 2 chapters.
Also, the author tries to tie the earthquake to the beginning of the Pentecostal movement - which he clearly disdains.

I love books about things like this, and this one was thoroughly satisfying.
