Start of Reading 2006

I met the beginning of 2006 with two books in hand: "The Golden Calf" by Ilf and Petrov (a brilliant satyre of Soviet society in 20s of 20th century) and " You are not like other mothers" by Angelika Schrobsdorff. In the last day of 2005 I received "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd from a bookring and should start with it soon as well.
