Review: Inspirational - I.am not a runner. But I am a cyclist, and I ride long distances. 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.
