    Haruki Murakami fans are living high on the hog: they’ve got themed shirts, music events, video games, radio shows, and an archival library. And here’s one more thing to add to the mix: dedicated fan Masamaro Fujiki has made a playlist of every song Murakami has written about in his novels and short stories. Also featured on the playlist are songs Murakami wrote about with enthusiasm on his now-deactivated advice website, Murakami San no Tokoro.

    The hefty playlist (which you can listen to here) now clocks in at 3500 songs, so it can last you for hundreds of hours—if you need a work soundtrack, or a running playlist, or if you’re a man without a woman.
