This is my full list of reading for the Flash. This is every solid Flash run available.
The Flash by Mark Waid
The Flash by Morrison/Millar (This takes place in the middle of Waid's run)
The Flash by Geoff Johns
These books do not have Barry as the Flash, they feature Wally West as the Flash. Barry was dead at this time due to the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths. Wally West was the Flash at this time. The Flash by Mark Waid and the Flash by Morrison and Millar all feature the introduction of the Speed Force and use evil speedsters the most. Geoff Johns uses the Rogues more than evil speedsters but the stories are still great. Mark Waid's run has 2 books out (With a third coming out later this year) and will be around 7 or 8 books long, Morrison's run is 1 book long and Johns has 3 books out but it will be about 5 or 6 books. Reading in the right order is not essential. I read Johns run before Morrison/Millar and Waid and understood everything. These books are the biggest influence for the CW show.
For Barry Allen all I can recommend is
Flash Rebirth (2009) by Geoff Johns
Flash Dastardly Death of the Rogues by Geoff Johns
[Flashpoint by Geoff Johns] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1401233384/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480633753&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=flashpoint&dpPl=1&dpID=61e0-Dt31zL&ref=plSrch)
New 52 Flash volumes 1-4 by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccelato
The rest of the New 52 is really bad, do not get it. Flash Rebirth (2016) has been pretty fun, but a bit disappointing at the start, but it's gotten a lot better. But still, I heavily recommend getting the Wally West volumes above.
Bart Allen
Impulse by various authors is a great series from what I hear. Personally I haven’t read it but various well informed Flash redditors have said it’s great. Just don’t read Flash Fastest Man Alive. It’s not good.
A few miscellaneous stories include
The Brave and The Bold by Mark Waid a story about Barry Allen and Hal Jordan for 6 issues at different points in their life. I haven’t been able to find a physical copy.
This whole series is a team book that features Wally as the Flash
The current Titans by Dan Abnett heavily features Wally. Especially this first trade.
Green Lantern v3 issues 66-67 a short arc between Kyle Rayner Green Lantern and Wally West. It’s their first one on one team up and it’s a cool story that ignites their rivalry.
All-Flash #1 sets up Wally as the Flash after Bart’s tenure as the Flash (Do not read it) and is a cool, cool story that shows Wally at one of his lowest points.
The Wild Wests by Mark Waid (Flash vol 2 #231-237) is a story that isn’t close to as good as Waid’s initial run but it’s still good in my opinion. First story with Wally as a dad and it tries to establish a new status quo for the Flash. Then Waid leaves DC. Also, it has cool art.
Both Young Justice by Peter David and Teen Titans by Geoff Johns feature Bart in a main role
It is an awesome pop, but $19!?!? HOT Damn. Save your money.
You can get Zoom for under $10 if you get it online from any of these retailers. Even better, wait till their special deals for hot cash (50% off) or 40% coupons.

And this goes the same for all of CW The Flash pops that's not the SDCC Unmasked Flash Pop (that unfortunately, you will have to pay an arm and a leg for - well over $60 - goes with the territory as it's a con exclusive), Unmasked Captain Cold, Jay Garrick, and Gorilla Grodd. These 4 are the only other pops from The Flash line that are over $10. Captain Cold Unmasked is an Entertainment Earth exclusive, so you can get it through there or off ebay. Gorilla Grodd was a 2016 SDCC exclusive as well, but if you get it now-ish, it should range from $20-40 off ebay. Jay Garrick is a Legion of Collector (Funko's DC subscription box) exclusive.
In the future, if you'd like to see the price breakdown of the pops, this is a good reference: http://www.poppriceguide.com/guide/Pop-Vinyl_Pop-Television_TheFlash/1/
For those of you interested, Manapul and Buccaletto (the creative team behind this page) did an excellent arc for The Flash from New 52 #1 through #29. These are collected in Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol 3, Vol 4, and Vol 5. I highly recommend reading them if you're interested in the comics, as they are a great introduction to the character of Barry Allen.
Personally for newcomers to the comics I recommend the Flash New 52 it's a fresh start to the Flash mitology and you get to know almost all the cast of the show (keep in mind that certain characters from the show don't exist in the comics I.E: Harrison Wells and some characters are completly different like Joe West), the art is magnificent just as the writing. Here's a link to a digital version of the first volume of the comic (issues 1-6) and it's only 9 dollars.

Brad Meltzer also authors a great series of biographies for kids about people that changed the world and are quite inspirational. I love the one about Amelia Earhart
I would recommend starting with Mark Waid's Flash series which has Wally West as The Flash. Mark Waid has done some of the best Flash stories there are and it's quite easy to start because they are all collected in trade paperbacks.
The order would just be:
The Flash by Mark Waid Book One. Flash #62-68, Annual #4-5, Special #1.
The Flash by Mark Waid Book Two. Flash #69-79, Annual #6, Green Lantern #30-31 and #40.
The Flash by Mark Waid Book Three. Flash #80-94 will be released on October 11 this year. Just a day after Flash Season 4 begins.
Honestly if you have 15 or so dollars or so pick this up.
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Vol-Lightning-Strikes-Rebirth/dp/140126784X
this is a good jumping in point, the only thing you really need to know is what happened to Wally West but a quick Google search can tell you that.
Other than that....
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Return-Barry-Mark-Waid/dp/1563892685
this might be the best story that involves most characters from the show.
Just read it. It is well worth it here is the link.
Also I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix.
If you want to start at the beginning you could buy the new Flash Omnibus that begins at the start of Barry's original run. With all respect to Jay Garrick, the modern idea of Flash begins with Barry. I believe it's on sale on Amazon.

My question was more, if I bought this one, would it look good on a bookshelf? Does it have a spine? I have tons of manga on shelves, and I don't want to get these if they're more like magazines.
New 52 Flash is a pretty good jumping on point for those new to the character, starting with Vol 1: Move Forward.
It's in stock on Amazon for $9.95 and free shipping with prime (physical copy):
Link
You can even have it in your mailbox tomorrow for an extra cost (at least for me).
If you haven't read it yet, I'd highly recommend picking up the book on the right of the picture, too: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
This is a tie-in comic for the event, so presumably the idea is gonna be "here's what these characters whose actors we couldn't get were up to during Crisis".
Amazon listing with synopsis is here, for those interested:
https://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Infinite-Earths-Arrowverse-Deluxe/dp/1779505108#
It's on the [DC Universe] (https://www.dcuniverse.com/comics/series/crisis-on-infinite-earths/9652d451-a531-41d6-bcbb-b66399a15ee7) service, so the cheapest legal digital option would be to start a free trial and read it.
If you prefer physical comics, it's on Amazon for $20, but I'd check your local libraries for it before buying it.
It's not real, but it's based on the real book Runaway Bunny which is similar and, as a father, I could probably recite it word for word as well.
It seems like it was based off this one:

Hit me right in the childhood feels

For Wally:
By the way, these are just starting points. I'll help you with an actual reading order if you need.
They're usually paperbacks. However, those "volumes" are actually collected story arcs (like six, seven issues). And even the volume 1 of the omnibus won't contain every issue from the Barry Allen years (which is Vol. 1, issues 105-350).
Important to know: there are two meanings to the word "volume": there is publication volume (The Flash Volume 1, in this case, is every issue from 1940 to 1985, even though it was called Flash Comics until issue 104, and The Flash from 105 onwards), and the "volumes" they actually sell, which are collected issues from a specific story arc.
Basically, this as well as the money it would cost are the reasons I "acquired" the Flash comics by other means.
You can buy the episodes (or the season pass) on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Saved-Central-City/dp/B014X7T2L8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462199621&sr=8-1
Basically if he doesn't run the speedforce becomes unstable and does strange thinks like sucking up people.
I got them from random newsstands, but here's a Amazon link for the first trade paperback.
The World of Flashpoint ft. Batman or something?
http://www.amazon.com/Flashpoint-World-Batman-TP/dp/1401234054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457446484&sr=8-1&keywords=flashpoint+batman
https://www.amazon.com/Flashpoint-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401233384
Here buddy I know your budget is tight but I'd start here
https://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Infinite-Earths-Arrowverse-Deluxe/dp/1779505108
is it just the 5 issue one?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flashpoint-TP-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401233384/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427665929&sr=1-1&keywords=flash+point
heheh I'd go with what u/Paunchvilla said, much more specific. Here's a link to volume 1 though, which should start you in a non-confusing place.
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Vol-Move-Forward-New-ebook/dp/B009TH2OZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510778762&sr=8-1&keywords=flash+comics

If you're patient, you can get them cheaper here. Otherwise, here.
Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Green-Lantern-Arrow-Various/dp/1401235174
Indeed it is
Edit: also, if you have the DC comics app on a tablet or phone, you can search crisis and it will list all the main crisis series and tie ins for you.
