War is hellarious

A very, very funny book. Damn sad too, when you see that nothing's changed in 50 or 2,000 years. We're still killing strangers in the name of our flag while the men who send us to be killed make vast fortunes from the deaths of endless innnocents.
I'm guessing they don't make recruits read this during base camp.
It would empty out rather quickly...

Favorite Book of All Time

Simply brilliant. Requires some effort, but it is so worth it. Amazingly ironic and truthful throughout, I can read this masterpiece again and again. Highly highly recommended.

Keeps me laughing

This book is absolutely hilarious. I didn't expect that I would like it, but I have found it extremely enjoyable. Despite the age of the book, the humor is pretty relevant considering the situation of the world today. This is definitely turning into one of my favorite books.

Painfully poignant

It seems most criticism of this book on the site asserts claims of dull repetitiveness and trite anti-war arguments. Even Yossarian however admits that the war against Germany had to be fought (of course to know this you would have had to get past the first hundred pages as so few of the critics have).
The book is about capitalism, relationships, friendship, duty, service, love and the eternal paradox inherent in each. There is something human in this book that touches us as the reader in the depths of their humanity and throws us naked from the tree of knowledge (and good and evil too!) into the world around us. Enjoy the fall!

What a story!

Catch 22 was written before MASH became a TV show. This book has action and tells what goes on when our soldiers are not fighting. Make love,not war!
