I've read several motivating running/marathon books in the last few months and was trying to build a list of them. Feel free to add to the list.

Currently Reading:

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running


Read:

The Long Run: One Man's Attempt to Regain His Athletic Career-And His Life-by Running the New York City Marathon
The Perfect Mile: Three Athletes, One Goal, and Less Than Four Minutes to Achieve It
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen


To Read:

Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner


Anyone have additional Books?

    "Once a Runner" and "Again to Carthage" (the second is a sequel to the first). Best books!

    BTW, these are works of fiction, but they are still great.

    I'm currently reading Bart Yasso's book, "My Life on the Run" and it's pretty good so far. There's another one by Dean Karnazes I want to read (the one on your to read list is quite good), "Run! 26.2 stories".

    I have a book by Pam Reed, "The Extra Mile" on my nightstand as well. Love finding good running books :)
