Mr. Wind Up Bird Chronicle

London's TimesOnline (the web version of the The Sunday Times) printed a great profile of author Haruki Murakami last month, an article that I've been meaning to link to for the last couple of weeks.

The profile is in list form, can't beat that, and includes some really interesting tidbits like Murakami Really, Really Likes Running and Murakami Likes Cats (along with in depth explanations about the headlines). If you aren't at all familiar with the man, that may very well make no sense whatsoever -- an all the better reason to go read the article.
