What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, Haruki Murakami
4.0

Beautifully crafted pseudo memoir. Murakami reads like a person you would love to sit with and listen to all day. He has a rambling style in this work, but he always comes back around to a central point. Additionally, there are some beautiful moments of wisdom about growing up/aging, writing as a career, and of course, running. I think, through this, I realized that I'm definitely not a runner, but I have much more admiration for those who do.
