I will read all murakamis eventually. I'm in love with him. What I Talk About is interesting to me, but it isn't mind blowing. I'm not a runner, so I can't relate on that level. As a fan of his, I like that I can see that some if his characters are reflections of himself. It may be self evident that all writers have an autobiographical component to everything the create, but I still find it fun as a fan to hear this or that character's voice when I read his words about himself. Also, there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout, and that alone makes it a worthwhile read. I wouldn't, however, recommend it to anyone who isn't already a fan.
