Inventive,humorous,different,with unforgetable characters,so how did we say catch 22 before this book?

Well, I would like to find out from those who found it Not-Worth-Consuming WHY they found it Not-Worth-Consuming. Although I wouldn’t go as far as to say it is the best book that’s ever been written (sometimes it was just monotonous), I had great fun reading it. And through the last few pages, I was really captivated to find out what happened to Orr. He is my all-time favourite literary character in general, not only out of this one book.

borrowed it from melissa paschke.

This book is brilliant. If you haven’t read it, you should. It’s painful, and funny, and painfully funny. I laughed so hard I cried more than once.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. ‘That’s some catch, that Catch-22,’ he observed. ‘It’s the best there is,’ Doc Daneeka agreed.
