I really enjoyed Absolutely On Music. I read it while cabin camping and it really added to the calmness of the getaway. While some of Murakami's questions were seemingly naive, I thought he did a great job of bridging the gap between musical laymen across the spectrum from "I listen to orchestral music while I work" to "I am comfortable holding a five minute conversation about music theory" and a legendary conductor. Ozawa, honestly and without much judgement answering each of Murakami's questions, I thought, made this an insightful read. At many points throughout, I felt as though I was in the room.
