Murakami’s fiction novels are extremely different from “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running”. If you want to try another non-fiction book of his check-out “Underground : The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche”, I loved it. If you go the fiction route “Kafka on the Shore” and “A Wild Sheep Chase” are a good starting point. Avoid some of his longer works unless you enjoy his style.

- dyukqu 9mo agoThank you for your recommendations. I am aware that his novels will be different. The (memoir) I mentioned just made me like the guy, so his other writings interest me now.
