An intimate look at writing, running, and the incredible way they intersect, from the incomparable, bestselling author Haruki Murakami.
While simply training for New York City Marathon would be enough for most people, Haruki Murakami's decided to write about it as well. The result is a beautiful memoir about his intertwined obsessions with running and writing, full of vivid memories and insights, including the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer. 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 athletic pursuit.
##虽然是谈跑步与写作,但依然有很多共鸣。尤其是在读了《强风吹拂》后读这本,对坚持跑步,坚持做某件事的人又多了许多钦佩。Small and concrete things matter the most.
评分##6000词汇量左右开始读的吧,虽然现在背到一万了,但是还是总有一些不影响理解可以猜出来或者猜不出来的陌生词汇。书本身就不评价了,印象最深的只有两点:第一,作者跑步几乎没有受过伤,除了一次没几天就好了的膝盖疼,如果我大二跑10km没有扭伤脚,也许这几年的人生轨迹会有一些变化,在格式化人生的混乱中有一条恒常的线索来贯穿混乱的自我总是好事,当然这本身要归咎于自己跑步技术的长期生疏,以为直接莽上去就能一路到全马或者超马;第二,作者在某个小片段里提到,随着年纪的增长,做事再也不能像年轻时那样随心所欲漫无目的,具体怎么说的已经忘了。当然还有很多其他的小片段,以及本书主题即对跑步的个人诠释,但这些都不重要了。
评分##为了翻译考试翻出来看的书。做不到信达雅但感觉比中文版更好懂!
评分##我特别喜欢英文的村上春树,感觉它的表达比中译的更加平白却又有力(因为是村上自己翻校的)(被冤枉的小清新的村上)
评分听的朗读版的,对我这个最近开始跑步考虑尝试马拉松的人很有参考价值,文章嘛说实话很琐碎。
评分##非常贊。英文版的相對中文版的語句簡潔,邏輯性更好。就像鏡頭有德味,村上春樹的書簡簡單單的句子都有那麼點哲味。很棒很不錯的讀物。
评分##really intriguing and insightful...Translation is very concise, love it...btw, Murakami do live a life of asceticism.
评分##2nd,NOV-2018 在亚马逊花了50.8+五块运费,只是觉得应该为11月买一本书把。 balance in April-2020
