I read it because I run and thought it would be worthwhile. It was okay as far as running memoirs go, but since runners' memoirs are generally awful that's saying very very little. You can have my copy if you want it.
That running book is one of the few Murakamis I never tried. Someone whose taste I don't trust told me it was great, so I never picked it up. The special magic of Murakami is definitely in his 80s and 90s stuff and it irritates me when I read his newer writing and find that it is just merely good.
