”You mean there’s a catch?”“Sure there’s a catch, “ Doc Daneeka replied. “Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn’t really crazy.”There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate w...
There should be no reason why this book isn't a perfect 5 in voting. This is the definition of an international classic. Heller's biography also suggests that incessant hands-on conferencing and updates from a young, freshly assigned editor of the time helped aim Joseph Heller's ad-copy wit, scatter...
Catch-22 is a clever novel, I'll give it that much, and Heller certainly deserves to be awarded for this. Honestly, it takes a lot of skill and intelligence to be able to write this book, one that defies all sense of time and meaning. Every conversation is a paradox, every character a catch-22 on th...
I...still have no words. I spent half the book laughing out loud, more than half the book confused about the timeline and which character was which, and another part feeling awful for the soldiers that were being taken advantage of for individual interests.

A bill on background checks was recently defeated in the Senate despite receiving the majority of votes, the DMV requires you to bring three different documents to prove to ...
I can't review this one properly I listened to it on audiobook over about a month and never really felt involved with it. Each time I resume reading it I can barely recall what happened when I last put it down. I find this to be a very hard book to engage with due to its non-linear and fragmented st...
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, was also another great listen for me, but I've heard mixed reviews on this book. The main character, Yossarian, is an American bombadier, stationed in Italy during WWII, and he is trying to get relieved from duty by pleading insanity. But if you are sane enough to want to ...
