Catch 22

[Anonymous]

I’m reading this for the first time-I think I actually picked it up a few years ago and for some reason lost interest or switched to another book. It’s really great! I feel like I’m one of the only gen x-ers who graduated high school without reading it but if there is anyone else out there who hasn’t, I highly recimmend. it’s very, very funny.

Oh boy. It’s a phenomenal book.

Just want to add, the first half was the funniest book I’d ever read, and the second half the saddest.

Yes, I really love this book. One of my all time favorites.

Ou sont les Neigedens d'antan?

I'm a former Navy officer, and I think it's the funniest book ever written, and, of course, one of the best.

Colonel Cathcart is so well done. The part where he is telling the chaplain that the enlisted air crewman should stay out of the briefing room, even during the pre-mission prayer, because he assumes they must have their own chaplain, and their own God, is classic.

Also the lieutenant/instructor in aviation school who was desperate to hold a mandatory parade every week but the CO wouldn't allow it. However, he got permission to schedule a mandatory parade every week, as long as he canceled it each time.

I also graduated high school without reading it and felt like one of the only people who hadn’t, so I read it in my 20s and loved it. Great reminder to pick this up again for a reread!

Obviously not the same as the military service but it reminded me a lot of medical training/residency. Very sharp and hilarious rendering of dynamics in a rigid hierarchy!

I can totally see that.
