Review: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book was a let down in much the same way Tom Hanks' book was: A great actor does not a good author make. In this case, an outstanding author of fiction does not necessarily a good nonfiction author make. 

It probably helps if you like running, since he goes into length about his experience running, jogging, and racing in marathons and triathlons.  It is a short read, so it kept me interested throughout, but it doesn't compare to his fiction at all.
