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.0 -
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
