What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

Thought it was a good idea to read it as an introduction to Murakami, and I was half right. Even though I enjoyed it greatly, it would've been more engrossing if I were more familiar with his work. I would've been even more interested in his writing process and how it mirrors his running technique, or maybe just understood more his writing style.
As it was, I had no idea where to go with my analysis as I had no point of reference, but at least I'm finally inspired to start reading his novels.
