The nice thing about Rip's stuff is that most of it has made it to the internet in one way or another, so you don't even really have to buy the books, just start googling and you'll find probably 90% of it.
I only added Born to Run, because he said "felt helped improve your approach to fitness and health," and for me, it got me to try running barefoot which I probably would've never done having not read it, but I would agree that it is sensational.
Barefoot running is not a "fix-all" as I have found out, but I will say that it does make you reevaluate your running form more than you might if you continued running in the typical super supportive motion control shoes.
