Any "Catch 22" fans here(novel...not movie)?

[ringbearer]

I have read it several times...gets better each time!

[The last sane person]

I've read it about 5 times....Havent seen the movie, only just heard about it!

[Khamûl]

I've tried to read it two or three times and none of them took. I guess it's too random for me.

[The Gaffer]

One of my top 5 favourite novels. The film was pretty good too.

I liked the bit where the old bloke in the brothel is explaining to Nately about how Italy will outlast America because they are weaker.

i've read it a few times too... great book

i'd suggest vonnegut's slaughterhouse-five and cat's cradle if you like the style

.WE are in COMPLETE agreement! Have you a lottery ticket for a significant amount of money? Given the rarity of this event in physical, mental, literary, and (conceivabley) the astral plane, PERHAPS, both of us should purchase them?

Except I really don't like donating to taxes that way unless the pot is at least 20,000,000. Then, I might buy 5 tickets at 1.00 each - max.

It's supposed to be random...(my theory)...it's a series of flashbacks the main character is having while he is in the hospital after being stabbed...hence the surreal, dreamlike quality of some of the scenes.
One of my favorite lines from the book...a character is being described...cannot remember which character...but it said "He knew everything about literature except how to enjoy it." (sounds like some of my old teachers! :D
