    The Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss is an interesting read.

    I would start by getting a solid foundation of exercise science and proven principles, by reading the study materials of a good personal training certification, like NASM. You can buy them used on Ebay. It's not light reading, but once you have that knowledge under your belt, you'll be able to properly assess the other books that are out there (some of which are only partly true).

    Mind gym
    Born to run
    Racing weight
    Joe Friel is good if you like cycling
    Bobby McGee for running also Galloway
    A life without limits: Chrissie Wellington
    Nancy Clark for nutrition
    Leslie Bonci is also a great nutritionist but not sure if she has books or just articles.
