What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

by Murakami, Haruki

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (走ることについて語るときに僕の語ること) is a memoir by Haruki Murakami in which he writes about his interest and participation in long-distance running. Murakami started running in the early 1980s and since then has competed in over twenty marathons and even an ultramarathon. The book's title was inspired by Raymond Carver's collection of short stories entitled What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Review this book!

Terrific book, but admittedly if you're neither a runner or an aspiring runner, some of the substance may be lost on you.
