    paulkid: Me, I think that true stories are the most absurd. For me, "In Pharaoh's Army" may not be as funny as "Catch-22", but it's close and definitely has made me consider my own serious outlook on life a little less, well, seriously. See if you agree.

    tootstorm: A genuine equal to Catch-22 written for the Vietnam age. Not just a cheap attempt to imitate Heller's talent-slash-luck, Eastlake may well have surpassed his masterpiece with this long-last classic. Read alongside Dispatches to maximize pleasure; then continue your newfound, inevitable addiction to all things Eastlake, because he really is that good--and he really is that inexplicably, undeservably unknown.… (plus d'informations)

This is the second time I read a book that I keep seeing on every "Books You Must Read Before You Die" kind of lists and for the second time I can't help but ask.... Why???
I found this book very hard to follow, I kept forcing my eyes to stay open as I read it. It was a real struggle.

There were parts that were fun so I might give it a second chance in the future but for now, can't give it more than 2 stars. ( )

At times it's a serious, and at other times it's just plain slapstick. It reflects both the tragedy and the silliness of war. Set in World War II on a small Italian island called Pianosa, a squadron of American pilots are sent on bombing missions. Yossarian has had enough of the number of missions going up, seeing his friends die, and fears greatly that he might die too. As you learn of his struggle to survive and get home, the other strange characters are highlighted too... Major Major, the Chaplain, his friends, colleagues he'd rather avoid..., Colonels Cathcart and Korn who only care about their careers and want to do anything to get promotions, and Milo - officially a Mess Officer but really at the centre of an international consumer network that only benefits him.

Reading this book now in 2023 when the world has changed so much is interesting - how badly women were treated for instance - most women in this book were willing prostitutes, or simply willing. War hasn't changed much. And Catch-22 just means rules are made by those who have the power to do so to do whatever they can get away with. Definitely no change there! ( )

Picked this one up and set it down over and over again. It's hard to get into, then alternates between hilarious and monotonous. Probably just me, and if you try it, be sure to give it an honest try as it does get better, with lots to chew on. It's tough to say anything new about a book this widely read, so I won't even try.

I've been struggling with depression lately. The dopamine dump I received from finishing this book was really something.

Catch 22 is absurdist and non-linear to the point of willing convolution; it features an excess of characters, many of which are superfluous. I can understand what people like about it, but to me it's just a very weighty volume of the same point and the same jokes over and over again, too much of which is loosely connected in a way that's as uninteresting as it isn't clever.

The writing is a kind of weird hybrid of Kafka and Vonnegut. I like and appreciate the latter; I dislike, but appreciate the former. Oddly, I don't think I really care for Catch 22 on many levels at all. ( )
  TheScribblingMan | Jul 29, 2023 |
Catch-22 went from funny, entertaining to just a overlong criticism of obeying authority. Yawn.

It's like it had a cool idea about the world, cornered me at a party and then talked my ear off for the next six days.

"A wild, moving, shocking, hilarious, raging, exhilarating, giant roller-coaster of a book"

"doesn't even seem to be written; instead, it gives the impression of having been shouted onto paper.... what remains is a debris of sour jokes"
ajouté par GYKM | modifierThe New Yorker
 
"Catch-22," by Joseph Heller, is not an entirely successful novel. It is not even a good novel by conventional standards. But there can be no doubt that it is the strangest novel yet written about the United States Air Force in World War II. Wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights. In any case, it is one of the most startling first novels of the year and it may make its author famous.

A portrait gallery, a collection of anecdotes, some of them wonderful, a parade of scenes, some of them finely assembled, a series of descriptions, yes, but the book is no novel... Its author, Joseph Heller, is like a brilliant painter who decides to throw all the ideas in his sketchbooks onto one canvas, relying on their charm and shock to compensate for the lack of design.

There was only one catch... and that was Catch-22.

This island of Pianosa lies in the Mediterranean Sea eight miles south of Elba. It is very small and obviously could not accommodate all of the actions described. Like the setting of this novel, the characters, too, are fictitious.

The enemy is anybody who’s going to get you killed, no matter which side he’s on.
"Sure, that's what I mean," Doc Daneeka said. "A little grease is what makes this world go round. One hand washes the other. Know what I mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."

Yossarian knew what he meant.

"That's not what I meant," Doc Daneeka said, as Yossarian began scratching his back.
