Reading theadvancedapes' recent post on "finding your soulmate" reminded me of this short little read by Murakami - admittedly, the only thing by Murakami I've ever started and finished.
I don't have a particular view on "finding a soulmate," to be honest. Perhaps because it's an aspect of my life I'm not currently focused on. But it's something interesting to think about. Kind of brings in the argument as to whether you believe in fate.
Edit: Sorry TNE, I got my "the" usernames mixed up.
