   Curiosity peaked by #Murakami’s line on page 330:

   “… life is a box of chocolates.”

   Googling rabbit hole:

   Norwegian Wood was published in 1987, years before the movie Forrest Gump (1994) written by Eric Roth.

   And while the screenplay for Gump was based on Winston Goom’s 1986 novel, his line was actually : “Being an idiot is no box of chocolates.”

     I’m in the Norwegian woods;
     reading ‘Norwegian Wood’.
     So, of course (?) I played the Beatles’ song on a lark and now can’t stop thinking about the Droster effect.
