What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

I just finished reading this nice little book entitled 'What I Talk About When I Talk About Running'. I have long been a fan of Haruki Murakami, I guess his literary style just fits my personality. But I found this book particularly appealing – a quick and easy read, it can be dubbed, in the final analysis, as a memoir centered on the act of running. While providing an insightful glimpse into the long-distance runners' lore, it also imparts to the reader a collection of interesting facts about Haruki Murakami's life, past and present, recounted in an honest, unpretentious way. So if you're interested in this kind of story, the one that actually amounts to something from a philosophical point of view, yet does so in a very unimposing way and without the unnecessary superfluity, then I totally recommend reading this book.
