baby, what's in that satchel?

i'm sure i'm not the first person who's thought of this. but i haven't read/heard of/spoken to anyone else who wants to do this, so i document it here. and remember! you (may have) read it here first!!

but anyway. i want to go on a haruki murakami tour of japan. as in follow the trails of his characters from 1 or 2 books. it should be fun right?
