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

Haruki Murakami is one of the world’s favourite novelists and responsible for wonderful fiction like  The Wind Up Bird Chronicle  and  Kafka on the Shore , but here he chronicles his obsession for running and offers his fans a short but wonderful journey into a mind which shapes such beautiful books.

His first forays into triathlon and his initial fears of the open water swim will resonate with many and his admiration of those who seem naturally designed to run is also a strong theme. A fabulous little book which should be on any runner’s to-read list.
