The Wind-Up Bird Coincidence

Recently I purchased the Haruki Murakami novel "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle." Unfortunately I had only finished six chapters before I absent-mindedly left the book in a cab.

I really wanted to finish the story, so today I bought a replacement. At the time of purchase, the store clerk inserted a complimentary bookmark in between two pages chosen at random.

When I got home, I opened the novel and found the bright pink bookmark at the beginning of chapter 7, precisely where I had left off.

Coincidence? I think so.
