具體描述
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.
By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.

評分##把跑步和人生需要的品質結閤起來，讀起來很激動和興奮
評分##一本小書，如小口品嘗飯後甜點般讀完。這幾年讀過的第三本關於跑步的書；第一本村上先生的書。譯者行文流水，讀來完全沒有違和感。印象最深的還是那句：Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
評分##Started on Nov.4.2009. Thanks for Ivan Zhai. Finished on Feb.4.2009.
評分##Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional GR 3.71 (25000) Aud
評分##從前我以為此書於我的意義，是村上說的"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"。現在纔體會到，其實村上對"rhythm"的描述，纔是此書的力量。
評分4小時23分的audio book，兩天給聽完鳥。給5星是因為這是唯一一本我知道村上在寫些什麼的書。
