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##每隔一段時間讀一遍給自己打雞血，誰說心靈雞湯沒用我跟誰急
評分##“I didn’t start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn’t become a novelist because somebody asked me to. And one day, out of the blue, I started to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run——simply because I wanted to.”
評分##看完英文版，覺得中文版翻譯得實在太好瞭.....兩種韻味哈..
評分##村上的小說越來越不能看瞭，而雜文至少還和以前一樣
評分##“跑步是孤獨的。騎自行車比跑步更孤獨。”像漂浮的朽木一樣遊泳我也是會的。所以我不如去修煉鐵人三項吧。 = =

評分##很喜歡這本書，正好解答瞭這段時間一些睏惑，有的時候書也是一種緣分，就像在適當的時候遇到瞭對的人，希望有天我也能像他那麼瞭解自己，知道自己的limits在哪，知道自己喜歡什麼，不刻意為之，而是順其自然，為自己定製一種lifestyle。
評分##終於讀完瞭！！！嚴格意義上是我cover的第一本原版..呼..
