What is "This Is Not Porn", and why do so many come here to do things with it?

It's a routine built into phpBB that's meant to prevent spambots from signing up and posting crap to your board. All crap must be hand-generated. You have to enter the security code which is a graphic image, rather than the text it appears to be.

Your argument is quite heavily flawed. The author of the book referenced throughout the puzzle is a male, has absolutely no relation to the creator of the puzzle, is not a small-time unknown author, and isn't even American/English/etc but rather Japanese. So that discounts every single bit of your argument.

In addition, only one book by Murakami is ever referenced. The other books referenced are Frankenstein, Paradise Lost, Wizard of Oz, etc. Let's not forget that barely anyone bought the book because of TINP. Hell, the TINP forums even offer a link to the text of that book.
