I'll preface this by saying that I am not a runner. I've done some long-distance hiking and backpacking, but have never gone running. I wouldn't even say I'm much of a walker either, but I do, on occasion, enjoy getting outside and moving around. This book, though, was inspiring and fascinating, and has motivated me to spend more of my time moving. Perhaps, one day, I'll even run a marathon (but I won't hold my breath). This is the third book by Haruki Murakami that I've read, is the only non-fiction work of his that I've read, and is by far my favorite so far. The book is so warm, personal, and inviting. It's serves as both an interesting look at what drives an athlete, as well as a look into the mind of a great author. Murakami seems like a cool guy. I love this book.
