Okay, so — eight hours later, this might be a little circumstantial. I just finished binge reading [i]The Memory Police[/i] by Yoko Ogawa, which has somehow influenced my decision making skills, and despite how much I enjoyed and now recommend the novel, [b][i]Wind[/i] by [@Midnight stars][/b] is a breath of fresh air to the haunting mystery of what Ogawa just pulled me through. So, that is where I place my vote. However, I must say again, the decision was difficult.
