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

Murakami is better known for his fiction than his non-fiction. In novels like Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, he manages to seamlessly blend supernatural events into the ordinary lives of his characters.

In this book he does almost the reverse, turning his reflections on running, writing, travel and music into a surreal narrative; one which is probably as close as we'll get to an autobiography of this self-effacing writer.

This is a compelling and gently philosophical book, of interest whether you or not you want to read about marathon running.
