Мэр Чикаго объявил, что весь предстоящий год город будет читать "Один день Ивана Денисовича".
A novel about a political prisoner's nightmarish life in a Soviet gulag is the spring 2006 pick for the "One Book, One Chicago" reading initiative, city and Chicago Public Library officials announced today.
The selection of "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn marks the first time Chicagoans will join residents of an overseas city – in this case, Moscow – to read the same book, Mayor Richard Daley said.

Robert Ferrigno's "Prayers for the Assassin" is a futuristic fantasy that puts an Orwellian nation, the Islamic Republic, where the United States of America used to be. The author does not treat this as a pleasant prospect. He imagines a 2040 in which New York and Washington are gone, Mecca is radioactive, Mount Rushmore has been eradicated and the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan has been renamed for Osama bin Laden. Super Bowl cheerleaders are men. Barbie's got a burka. At least Starbucks prices aren't much higher than they used to be.
