What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, Haruki Murakami
3.0

The book was fast paced and easy to read due to the journal entry format. I liked that his perspectives on running and writing weren’t pessimistic nor insanely optimistic rather they were pretty much just reasonable. I almost found this more inspiring in terms of wanting to progress my own running.

However, I find him to have some mysoginistic tones when he did on the off chance speak of women. Also even though the book is formatted to be more casual journal style, sometimes I found it to be repetitive and lacking a lot of direction.
