  最近上天實在太優惠我了，居然讓我接二連三碰到好書，不用問，這本亦是其一。一直被朋友戲稱我與村上春樹的電磁波不合，但是沒有閱讀過日本文壇巨匠的書，怎樣也說不過去。選擇這本書作為村上春樹的起點，原因是書名的留白部分很是吸引，同時在村上眾多的書中，唯一沒有被朋友斷定我和村上沒緣分的就這本了。於是那天我終於與村上老師接觸了。也許是一種緣分，想不到，第一次接觸村上春樹的作品，居然是這本親民到極點的散文集，簡直是夭中了我的心窩。幸好第一次接觸的是散文而非小說，印象中寫慣小說的作家，散文必定比小說好看。村上春樹透過談跑步道出自己不為人所知的寫作觀，於是我發現，我體內的跑步因子又蠢蠢欲動了。

  最近上天實在太優惠我了，居然讓我接二連三碰到好書，不用問，這本亦是其一。一直被朋友戲稱我與村上春樹的電磁波不合，但是沒有閱讀過日本文壇巨匠的書，怎樣也說不過去。選擇這本書作為村上春樹的起點，原因是書名的留白部分很是吸引，同時在村上眾多的書中，唯一沒有被朋友斷定我和村上沒緣分的就這本了。於是那天我終於與村上老師接觸了。也許是一種緣分，想不到，第一次接觸村上春樹的作品，居然是這本親民到極點的散文集，簡直是夭中了我的心窩。幸好第一次接觸的是散文而非小說，印象中寫慣小說的作家，散文必定比小說好看。村上春樹透過談跑步道出自己不為人所知的寫作觀，於是我發現，我體內的跑步因子又蠢蠢欲動了。

  這本散文親民的原因，也許是我和村上先生一樣，同樣在眾多運動中選擇了跑步。在他的文章中我感受到那種親切和熟悉。就在個性有類似的地方，這更樣此書顯得別具親切，所以閱讀時很是流暢。至此我很想將這本書推薦給夜晚與我一起跑步的友人。村上春樹把跑步比喻人生及寫作，從跑步感悟人生，體會人生。透過書寫跑步和活著的異同，作者給予我們的不單止包括對跑步的渴求和期待，也有一分對生活的嚮往。

  村上春樹在書中寫下了令人印象深刻的說話，他希望這句話能刻在他的墓誌銘上。「至少到最後都沒有用走的」。讓我想起某次去澳門旅行的同行朋友說了一句：「至少希望到最後都不用乘搭的士。」雖然是一些無足掛齒的小事，只是連這些小事都堅持不下去的話，總覺得生命中會失去被這更嚴重的東西。「難過」無法避免，「不行了…」卻是自己的衡量判斷。要繼續下去，不要讓節奏中斷，對長期作業來說，這點很重要。人生往往也是這種到處可見的事情累積之下。

  「世間超出我能力範圍的事情太多了，怎樣都贏不過的對象太多了。」不是告訴自己放棄，而是叫自己別太執著。不管是誰，都不可能永遠勝利的。與其說要戰勝對手，不如說超越自己，這才是對自己負責。寫出來的東西和跑步同樣要達到設定的基準，過得了自己設下的關卡，這樣才算得上勝利。

  　　這是小弟第一次看村上春樹的書，哈哈！
  　　關於跑步，我想說的其實是......一個因人而異的、因人心而有不同意義的運動。書寫的挺有趣的～小弟把它想成是一本作者透過慢跑的人生體悟。

  相當喜歡。由小見大，(似乎很老套地）由跑步見人生。

  Proud to Be a Runner!

  Jill recommended this book to me. That's why I checked it out from the library. I was not really that interested in Murakami's books. The only one I read before this book is "The Norweigen Woods" and I didn't like it that much. So this is the second book of his that I've ever read even though he is so popular in Taiwan.
  What struck me in this book from the very beginning was the sentence "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional!" What a great sentence for a runner it is! I can't think of a better sentence to describe how a runner feels when he/she keeps running no matter what!
  Besides that, there are also many details that simply strike a chord in me and tell me "Yes, that's it! We are both runners!" It is really inspiring to read the author's observation of himself and the surroundings when he runs! I truly recommend this book to everyone, sports lover or non-sports lover alike!
  By the way, the author also shared his experience of training for the triathlon! It's interesting, but I don't think I'll ever try it after reading about his experience. It just takes too much time! The most I can do is probably ride a bike from home to office and then job for a while. That should be really great exercise in the morning!
