Catch 22 May 10, 2005

This is another one of those books that I know nothing about, except that it's supposed to be a classic. The kind of thing I may have very well been asked to read at some point in high school, but I didn't because I was too far in the foggy la-la land that characterized those years. Making up for lost time, I guess.

From Barnes and Noble:

Set in the closing months of World War II in an American bomber squadron off Italy, Catch-22 is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian, who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he hasn't even met keep trying to kill him. Catch-22 is a microcosm of the twentieth-century world as it might look to someone dangerously sane. It is a novel that lives and moves and grows with astonishing power and vitality -- a masterpiece of our time.
Actually, that does sound kind of interesting.
