Haruki Murakami. Knopf.

173 pages. $21.

Haruki Murakami's new book on running isn't meant as a training guide; instead, he weaves a memoir of sorts from the lessons he's learned on running paths and through his work as Japan's premier novelist. The book opens in Kauai, Hawaii, as Murakami trains for the New York Marathon. From there, he flashes back to his earliest running days, when he sold his Tokyo jazz bar to become a full-time writer. Although the book will catch the eye of runners, experienced and novice alike, non-runners can walk away with lessons Murakami has garnered both on the trail and at his writing desk.

Veteran country-rockers The Lost Trailers inject a dose of Southern soul into contemporary country music on the band's new album, "Holler Back." Whether it's the organ-spiced R&B in "All This Love" or vocalist Ryder Lee's hip-hop flow in the title song, The Lost Trailers bring the funk to backwoods rock. In "Gravy," the band celebrates marijuana in a bouncing, rap-influenced track that crosses Snoop Dogg with Charlie Daniels. Like the guys in the hit movie "Pineapple Express," The Lost Trailers charm with their slacker devotion to hedonistic action. DOWNLOAD: "Blacktop Road"

-- "New World Kitchen" by Norman Van Aken

93 minutes. Rated PG-13.

In Morgan Spurlock's compelling if self-indulgent travelogue investigation, he of the "Super-Size Me" antics embarks on a gutsy, goofy sojourn to countries linked in some fashion to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida: Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The director uses the action film and the video game as conceits for his lone protagonist in search of the world's most wanted man. Still it's Spurlock's engaging time spent talking with folks on the streets, in their homes and in their mosques that suggests a deeply common truth: Deprivation hurts.

Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

For the glaze:

1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the turkey cutlets:

1 pound turkey breast cutlets (about

4 cutlets)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

To make the glaze, in a small saucepan combine the apple juice concentrate, mustard, rosemary, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze boils and thickens. Remove from the heat.

To prepare the cutlets, heat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a charcoal fire. Rub the turkey cutlets with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

Grill the cutlets until they are cooked through and no longer pink at the center, about 5 minutes per side. Brush both sides of the turkey with glaze and continue to grill until the cutlets are glossy and browned, about another minute per side. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the cutlets and serve.

Rated: Mature Platform: PlayStation 3 (SCEA)

In an interesting experiment in episodic gaming, Sony has retooled the overlooked 2004 title "Siren," chopped it up into a dozen chapters and set them loose on PlayStation Network. In the first episode, a U.S. camera crew stumbles across a Japanese village populated by zombies, and you briefly assume the role of a college student who's trying to escape from an undead cop. In later episodes, you see the events in the village through different characters' eyes -- at times, even through the eyes of the zombies themselves. It's an effective survival horror adventure.

Separate your lunch and your favorite Web site, and your waist may shrink. See, holding a mouse in one hand leaves the other free to dip into that family-size bag of potato chips and polish it off before your mind, or your stomach, has any idea what's happening.

Normally, if you're sitting around with friends and you eat chips (we'd prefer you had vegetables, but we'll tackle that another day), your palate gets "tired" after a while, and you don't want any more. But if you get distracted (by Amy Winehouse's latest scuffle, by your friend's e-mail -- with pictures! -- on what went on after you left the party, or by a killer round of Internet Scrabble), this appetite-control mechanism vanishes faster than those kettle-cooked chips did.

And that's just if you're checking e-mail or cruising around the Web. Video games are even worse. In a study in which researchers set up women with some snack cakes, they found that those who munched while playing a video game downed more than those who ate without distraction, and the gamers wanted to eat pretty much anything else in reach ... even after the study part ended (sound familiar?).

If, for some reason, you can't separate your meals from your mouse (and can afford a new keyboard every few months to replace the crumb-jammed one), try this: Leave the empty bag next to the monitor. Seeing "evidence" of your feast may help you eat less next time. And remember that consuming extra calories at your computer means you'll need a longer walk to burn them off. Try to stick to savoring each separately.
