I am also a writer, though of business content, not fiction. And I'm getting on a bit. I found this to be a meditation on running, but for running I could easily substitute cycling, a bit on writing, and a little bit on ageing, though the last is what resonated the most with me. I too note that my race times at getting slower, despite no reduction in effort. I blame myself for not working hard enough and feel dejected when my times are slower than they were five years ago. Murukami reminds me I am normal. Ageing is normal. More than that, it is a privilege. He describes his personality as not very attractive. He is an introvert. So am I. I'd love to meet him. I think I'd like him very much. A book to read and re-read at different stages of life. Review: Interesting - I enjoyed reading this as a novelist who is also a runner. I've enjoyed the author's novels and it was intersting to get an insight into his life and background, but I was glad it was relatively short. ## Features - Product Type:Abisbook - Product type:ABISBOOK - Language: English - Size: Multicolor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,387,423 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 5 in Running & Jogging (Books) 11 in Biographies on Novelist & Playwrights 46 in Sports Biographies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 9,781 Reviews | ## Images ![What I Talk about When I Talk about Running: A Memoir (Vintage International) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6162UAASWTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational *by E***N on 14 February 2025* I.am not a runner.
