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


People,


I have given up the sugar and my attitude is one of the shite variety. I will spare you my company until further notice. In the mean time, perhaps a nice book group?


What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. By Haruki Murakami


Please discuss.




Love (with consistent vague, punctuated by acute, irritability),

  2. Try the "Honey Mints" in bulk, but freeze them first. Frozen, they taste like junior mints to me!

  3. i too, found this book a boring and disappointing read following all of murakami's rad, rad novels [i'm obssessed with norwegian wood.] i agree with your astute call that murakami is uncomfortable lauding himself & his runs/triathalons/etc. and i agree that it's cultural. if i had not read any of his fiction and first started w. the running memoir, i would feel unsettled by the simultaneous distance of his voice and intimacy of his experiences aging, smoking, gaining weight, etc. while continuing to run & train. it's like he's sharing but leaving something out. a crucial je ne sais quoi.
