What I Talk about When I Talk about Running by Haruki Murakami

What I Talk about When I Talk about Running by Haruki Murakami, Memoir, 180 pages.

Murakami talks about his life, his writing, and his decades-long dedication to running. He makes no argument in favor of being a novelist, a marathoner, or even a casual runner, he simply points out how this all came to be part of his life and how he does what he has to do. Murakami is a great writer and this, the only book I have read that is about, at least in a large part, running, is a quirky and enjoyable book.
