读过《What I Talk About When I Talk About Running》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
是很流畅诶，能理解为什么多年前看到有人推荐刚开始读英文原著的话这本很值得看。学到不少表达和实用词语。这本书很个人，适合他的方法不一定适合所有人，但是他已经把跑步这件事为什么适合他、他的个性说得比较清楚了，也不会让读者感到压力，相反挺振奋人心，很有参考价值。尽管如此，还是偶尔会不认同他的观念，或者发现跟他不同的地方，比如At Least He Never Walked，读的时候不理解这有那么值得夸诶……虽然从跑者的角度看这确实很重要。
读这本书让我感觉自己英文真的不太行，得多读英文书、多写英文文章。本书的阅读用了我12小时许。

In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.
By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.
