... that Haruki Murakami once wrote an entire book of photos and essays about his T-shirt collection, titled Murakami T, when he wasn't "in the mood to write fiction"?

Source: I find it difficult to write fiction unless I tell myself, Okay, time to write some fiction! When I’m not in the mood to write fiction, I end up at my desk just simply writing. Like a musician practicing his instrument. Since writing is something I simply enjoy doing. That’s how this T-shirt book came about. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope people find it equally enjoyable to read.

ALT1: ... that Haruki Murakami owns so many T-shirts that he collects them in "stacked-up cardboard boxes" and ended up publishing an entire book about them titled Murakami T? Source: T-shirts are one of those things which naturally pile up. They’re cheap, so whenever an interesting one catches my eye I buy it. People give me various novelty T-shirts from around the world, I get commemorative T-shirts whenever I run a marathon, and when I travel I often pick up a few, instead of bringing along extra clothes. Which is why the number of T-shirts in my life has skyrocketed, to the point where there’s no room in my drawers anymore and I have to store the overflow in stacked-up cardboard boxes.
