This book is a light read that is entertaining, hilarious, and just a good story that will keep you guess and intrigued every time you pick it up.

Although I read a handful of reviews saying that, "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" was a huge departure from typical Murakami material (of which I have only read "The Wind-up Bird Chronicles"), I still wanted to check it out. The book essentially breaks down the process in which Murakami starts running, almost as a physical supplement to his sedentary career as a novelist. It also explores his approach to each marathon he competes in, including (and most importantly) the training that is involved. Above all else, he takes time to discuss the fragile love/hate relationship runners have with running. To this point, he was spot on. As a runner training for a half-marathon and an avid reader, this book was extremely inspirational. On the other hand, I can't see non-Murakami fans and/or non-runners enjoying this memoir very much.
