A review by steveno
The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty

3.0

I grabbed this after I heard it name-dropped in season 2 of In Treatment. It's a great story, but it's not very deep and some of the writing is a bit overdone.
In a lot of ways, it's a contemporary Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, told in a much more straight-forward (and flatter) manner.
Still, whatever weaknesses the book has are pretty much overcome by the great story.
