    Perhaps the most brilliant work of satire ever construed. Anyone agree?

    I'm a pretty big advocate of this book. It took me a while to really push through it, it was so sporadic, but so wonderfully written. One of my favorite books ever.

    An amazing read! At the beginning, I found it tough going but as I progressed,
    I became more and more addicted to the thought processes and fucked logic of
    it all. I will read this book again and again.


    I haven't found another book that made me laugh out loud so frequently.

    Peace,
    Aidan

    I read Catch 22 about a week before I was drafted into the army back in '67. The damn thing had me in trouble constantly because I couldn't take any of it seriously. And the mind boggling, inept stupidity of army logic was absolutely dead on target. Man, did we exploit that for all it was worth.
