Don't get me wrong. I've enjoyed the book immensely and this is perhaps the best book on running that I've ever read. The reason for not reading any further Murakami is that: I simply don't like to read the fantastical or magic realism or post-modernist or any such weird kind of storytelling. I prefer realistic narration. But this present book is not a work of fiction, so I didn't have any qualm. This is more of a personal journal/"training log" than a memoir or autobiography. A meticulous, heartfelt and intimate account of his preparation for participating in the New York City Marathon of 2005. Though sometimes he reminisces his journey as a long distance runner for almost three decades, and his thoughts on running as a passion and philosophy, and life in general. I've thoroughly enjoyed the book and it has inspired me a lot. I love running and his thoughts are akin to what I myself think about running. The writing style is non-confrontational, jovial and captivating. And his passion and seriousness is praiseworthy and inspiring. Get this book to find out what Haruki Murakami has to talk about when he talks about running. Review: Good fun read - Nothing extraordinary, but Haruki’s writing just feels so effortless. Like you are really there next to him and he is talking to you as a friend. If you are a runner, you will enjoy this. Even if you are not, you wont regret this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,107 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Marathon & Running #1 in Athletics & Gymnastics #2 in Active Outdoor Pursuits | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 9,890 Reviews | ## Images ![What I Talk About When I Talk About Running - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71skAxiMC2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What Murakami Talks About When He Talks About Running *by A***N on 3 October 2019* This is my first Murakami and probably my last as well.
