Catch-22 is like no other novel. It has its own rationale, its own extraordinary character. …
I'm trying to go back through some classics that I've never read and this one is on the list. It's kind of interesting picking up books like this that you know nothing about except for what has made its way into popular culture and parlance.
@thadd I’ve been doing this too! I read Fahrenheit 451 and Slaughterhouse-Five recently and I loved them. Quick reads too!
@thadd slaughterhouse five especially… I didn’t know ANYTHING about it at all and I just didn’t even see it coming haha
@DavidVII@mastodon.social Yes, I loved both but haven’t read either in like 20 years. Maybe I’ll pick them up again. I’m struggling a bit with Catch-22 since it’s pretty absurdist and it makes it hard to get really roped in. I think I’ll probably buy a copy and read a few chapters at a time when I’m between books.
