* '''Born to Run'''. The recent bestseller 'Born to Run' is well written and entertaining, as well as thought provoking. <jfs id="0307279189" n="" nonl="t"/>.
* '''The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances'''. This is a comic book on running by The Oatmeal, and it's a great read. Of course, humor is a personal thing, so check out [http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running the online comic] to get a taste of the book. <jfs id="1449459951" n="" nonl="t"/>.
* '''Once A Runner''', by John L. Parker. Often considered the best book on running, and a worthy read. <jfs id="1416597891" n="" nonl="t"/>. There's also the sequels sequel "Again to Carthage" (<jfs id="1439192480" n="" nonl="t"/>), and the prequel "Racing the Rain" (<jfs id="1476769869" n="" nonl="t"/>).
* '''Running on Empty''', by Marshall Ulrich. An ultrarunning classic by one of the greatest ultrarunners. <jfs id="1583334904" n="" nonl="t"/>.
* '''Eat and Run''', by Scott Jerek. This is part autobiography and part recipe book from the elite ultrarunner Scott Jurek. I found it fascinating to read about Scott's life, and [[Why Run Ultras| why he runs ultras]]. While Scott includes several bits of ultrarunning advice, it's mostly his life story.<jfs id="0547569653" n="" nonl="t"/>.
