What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

Recommended by Jianxin

I don't like Murakami's other work very much but I come back to this book very often. I love his take on running, his philosophy on such a solitary (mostly) activity, and just the whole style of it (and I suppose its translation). One of my favorite books period!

I recommend this book as often as I can - and I say this as a person who is not a runner. I love it for his trademarked sparse prose and how it’s not so much about running (even though it is!) but about finding motivation for things that matter to you even when you’re tired or in a rut.
