Murakami also has a new book of non-fiction coming out next month here in the states called, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. An excerpt from the book was published in the most recent issue of the New Yorker as part of it's summer fiction issue. (Unfortunately, the New Yorker did not make the piece available online.)

link to the book.

to a clear fan, can I ask what is the deal with this guy? Why would I want to read his books, and what should I start with?
