Shall we? Pick one for September, and read it, and talk about it?

A book group is one of those things that I always think is a good idea, but can never find the thing to do. Would it be a running book, or a general book?

I don't think I've ever read a running book cover to cover.

Possibly, although I don't get much time for actual reading, as opposed to listening to audiobooks, these days.

Sounds good to me, Fetch.

PS Murakami's "What I talk about when I talk about running" is only slightly longer than the title - about 175 pages. (tbf, more a collection of essays \ journals than a full-on "book").
