Why: It comes up every 10 pages in Haruki Murakami's newest book 1Q84.

The More You Know: Yesterday, Corbett asked me what the title of the book meant. I didn't know yet, but then I spent 10 hours in an airport, so now I do. But what was the title in Japanese, where they don't really use a Q? It was the same - ichi (1)-kew (Q)-hachi (8)-yon (4). But the thing is that the word for 9 is also "kyu." It's a pun.
