Assess Regarding Books Catch-22 (Catch-22 #1)

This book was utterly misrepresented to me before I read it. For some reason I'd always thought it had been published the same year as Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow and was considered as representing the other fork of post World War II American literature apart from Pynchon's--this the conventional, plot-driven one catering to stupid people. Some professor or some didact must have told me that, enrroenously as it turns out, once. Catch 22 predates the Pynchon masterpeice by 15 years, and is in

From cleaning my TBR project. Not my type of humour, I guess. Tried to read it a few times and I think is time to let go of this classic. It is too long to battle through it.

The following is an example of how many conversations in this book took place.Jen: I didn't like this book.Nigel: Why didn't you like the book?Jen: I did like the book.Nigel: You just said you didn't like the book.Jen: No I didn't.Nigel: You're lying.Jen: I don't believe in lying.Nigel: So you never lie?Jen: Oh yes, I lie all the time.Nigel: You just said you don't believe in it.Jen: I don't believe in it, Jen said as she ate a chocolate covered cotton ball.Nigel: Well I liked the book.Jen:

When the title of a book enters the English language that puts it on my reading list right away. What constitutes 'sanity' for men in war is problematic on two levels: 1). - who put them in this situation (war) and 2). - what would a "sane" person do to get out of the situation. Another book I think should be on a 'congressional reading list.'

A word of warning - the following has more to do with my life than it has to do with the novel Catch-22. If you don't give a fig about me then just skip this. As I mentioned in my note about War with the Newts, 1985 was the worst year of my life. I was a deeply depressed eighteen year old. My parents tried their best to help me. For my mom this meant finding me the best counselling possible, and for my dad this meant showing me that the world itself was crazy and I was quite right to feel

Worst book I've ever had the misfortune to pick up. My dad warned me that this book was lower on the evolution scale than a wet turd, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I hated this with every fibre in my body and with any luck the book will just crawl away and die. The characters were obnoxious, moronic gits who I hoped would all die at the hands of Jason Vorhees very soon and there was no way I'd ever connect with that idiot who was meant to be our beloved hero. The dialogue was incomprehensible

Catch-22 reminds me a lot of those comedy/tragedy masksyou know the ones that are supposed to represent like, fine theater or something? Not that Im comparing Catch-22 to some great Italian opera. All Im saying is that the book oscillates cleverly between the absurdly humorous and the grievingly tragic.So it starts off on the hilarious side. Heres a bit that had me giggling aloud (rather embarrassingly, I might add, as I was surrounded by other people at the time): The colonel dwelt in a vortex
