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

2.0

---

This is a really bad book. Murakami spends the whole time just sort of rambling on about his running history. There is this cycle throughout the book: he first describes a big sporting event he attends, then describes the physical difficulties he encounters doing it and finally tries to conjure some sort of painful aphorism about life that ties running and writing as acts together.
