It's only my opinion, but I'd rather read a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winner about the Renaissance than curl up with a children's book; no matter how well-written. It's The Swerve for me. |
My sentiments as well.

In all seriousness it is remarkable how evenly distributed the votes are. I was really hoping for
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World as it is one of the Murakami books that I hae not read, but given the most likely winners at thia I also hope it is The Swerve.
