No Bugles, No Drums by Peter Snell.
My English teacher is in Running with the Buffaloes! He was on the same team the same years. Great book
Running with the Buffaloes is good, just finished it.
Eat and run (Scott jurek) is good as well.
A Cold Clear Day, Frank Murphy's bio of Buddy Edelen
Once a Runner was pretty much a religious experience for me back in high school. Currently reading the (relatively) recently released sequel Again to Carthage. So far so good. Both books are pretty good prose on their own even for non-runners though.
In terms of coaching or instruction: "Running to the top" by aurthur Lydiard is my absolute favorite.
An enormous compilation of running biographies and coaching philosophy, Timothy Noakes "The Lore of Running" is a great source of the history of running, it's greatest stars, and the evolution of coaching philosophies and Noake's own views on the subject.

Once a runner is flat out terrible. Terrible writing and he plot is so bad and hardly believe able.
Juggernauts by Steve Adkisson.
The Art of Running Faster by Julien Goater. The stories are worth it, even if you weren't after the training.

The Perfect Mile
Running with the Kenyans
My Year of Running Dangerously (POV of hobby jogger)
