Finished Catch-22 this morning. While I enjoyed the satire of World War II life, and I understood where Heller was writing from, I felt that the plot of "Yossarian doesn't want to fly because he doesn't want to die" falls a little flat toward the end. Much like Harry Potter 3, too much happened in the last fifteen minutes.
Still, a decent book. 7/10.
Next up: The sequel to Catch-22, "Closing Time". Followed hopefully by "Thud" and "Anansi Boys".
exactly... and the new one comes out nov 18 i believe.. so lets jack the thread FAST on this one
Catch 22 was just compared to Harry Potter?
The apocalypse is upon us! ;)

out of the dead of night
you hear the four horsemen ride
so choose your fate and die
Shit, that's going to be in my head now.
or..
band your head against the stage like you never did before
make it ring make it bleed make you really sore
in a frenzied madness with your leather and your spice
heads are bobbin around its hot as hell tonite
OR...
spinless from the start
sucked into the part
circus comes to town
you play the lead clown
or..
:evil:
