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

adventurous inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Would highly recommend if you like Murakami, running, writing, music records, and memoir/essay collection type books. 
I understand this one isn't up everyone's alley and most people who I talk to about books won't want to read it. But it's definitely a five star for me. I love Murakami's fiction and it was so cool to get some personal connection to him as a person as well as a writer. 

Not about the book but personal anecdote-- It's actually funny because I saved this book to my library on audible before I knew anything about Murakami, simply because it was titled about running. I had Norwegian Wood on my TBR after seeing it on some highly acclaimed list somewhere. I read Killing Commendatore first, on Kim Namjoon's suggestion, and only after that did I realize that all three were written by the same person. Getting Murakami recommended to me from all different places! Eventually I'd like to read everything he's written (or at least what's been translated into English).
