Murakami Favored to Win Nobel
It’s Nobel season again, and Japanese author Haruki Murakami is being touted as the front-runner to win the Swedish Academy’s prestigious prize for literature.
The 64-year-old novelist, known for his surrealistic, experimental stories and frequent references to Western pop culture, is the 3-1 favorite, according to U.K. bookmaker Ladbrokes.

I love Murakami - I pace my reading; about once a year I think "time for another Murakami". He doesn't publish frequently, so spacing my reading draws out the pleasure and means I always have more to look forward to.
Any other Murakami fans here?
