Born to Run is excellent, and really enjoyed the two mentioned by Adharanand Finn. Finn also wrote The Way of the Runner (Japanese running culture) which is just as good as his others.
Also good are There is No Map in Hell (fell running shenanigans), Running the Dream, Out of Thin Air (a lot like Running with the Kenyans but in Ethiopia), The Pants of Perspective and Finding Ultra. Would also recommend The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzie. It's about running form, which sounds pretty dry but I got a lot out of it.
Admittedly I haven't technically read any of the above, all listened to (Audible) while out running.
