What’s the best self- help book you’ve read? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣I know I talk about Murakami a lot, but there is a different, yet very crucial side to my desire for his writing and that’s the fact that he was a runner!⁣ ⁣ Before I read this book I was a totally inactive person but reading Murakami’s words about how he adored running made me want to become a runner! I started getting more active day by day and I still am! Although I can never be a runner because of health problems, but ever since I’ve read this book, I have been active and I go jogging almost everyday! 💪🏻⁣⁣ . . . . . #whatitalkaboutwhenitalkaboutrunning #harukimurakami #thewindupbirdchronicle #kafkaontheshore #norwegianwood #cornersofmyworld #selfhelpbooks #vintageinthewild #vintagebooks #murakami #موراکامی #japaneseliterature #darkacademiaaesthetics #lightacademia #cozyvibes #ofcosymoments #awildsheepchase #sputniksweetheart #darkacademia #村上春樹 #darkacademiavibes #thepursuitofcosiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNplsOTrME1/?igshid=gzzdozimvrdc

“Finally, I dedicate this book to all the runners I’ve encountered on the road - those I’ve passed, and those who’ve passed me. Without all of you, I never would have kept on running.”

-Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

[dog-earedthoughts]

“The thoughts that occur to me while I’m running are like clouds in the sky. Clouds of all different sizes. They come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky as always. The clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky. The sky both exists and doesn’t exist. It has substance and at the same time doesn’t. And we merely accept that vast expanse and drink it in.”

- Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

‘what I talk about’ is a far reach from murakami’s usual work, following the author across the western world as he partakes in marathons. the language used in the memoir is friendly, trusting, intimate - the polar opposite of his bizarre fiction, which is dazzling at best and problematic at the very least. one does not have to be a fan of his fiction to enjoy this glimpse into his life. renowned for his privacy, this special anomaly in his oeuvre may be his most brilliant yet. 5/5 ⭐️ #bookstagram #book #harukimurakami #murakami #whatitalkaboutwhenitalkaboutrunning #literature #japaneseliterature #nonfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCB_DXlsGL/?igshid=1nx3lddjozsj4

Los empecé y no los voy a terminar. No sé si me deshaga de ellos o los guarde esperando una mejor oportunidad, pero no logré conectar y me sentía leyendo en el colegio, por obligación y no por placer. #HarukiMurakami #WhatITalkAboutWhenITalkAboutRunning #desiremurakami (en Bogotá D.C) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LG0SipVry/?igshid=68i6t7ai6tzb
