I’m only 200 pages into this so it’s not like I haven’t read enough for it to grab me yet.
PS what book should I read after

>>21437116
You are a trash man.

>>21437116
You lack a funny bone.

>>21437127
Don Quixote. It will also make you laugh out loud.

You are aware of (them) and their antics, and no longer find their humor funny.

>>21437345
You lack discipline and respect. Trump lost fool. And he isn't coming back.

>>21437409
Meds. Now.

>>21437407
Shit is this really why?

This. The part when he's attacking the herd of sheep is hilarious.

>>21437116
>There’s just something about this book that makes reading it feel like such a chore.
I feel like it tries to throw zingers in every single line. So after a while it gets pretty tiresome to sit through it.

>>21437743
Agreed, I put this book down after 50 pages for that exact reason. I get it, war doesn't make any sense but we psy-op ourselves into thinking it does. You don't have to keep bashing me over the head with it.

>>21437443
>Shit is this really why?
It was for me. The neurotic goyim-bashing is unmistakable, regardless of whether it's in print or in theaters or on Netflix.

>he reads books for "the point"

>>21437127
it gets funnier the farther into the book you read. also read don quixote next

>>21437116
Personally I thought much of it was pretty fucking tedious. I'd stick with it to the end though as the last few chapters are some of the best

>>21437116
I know a bunch have said it but f you like humor definitely read Don Quixote next

lol are you me, i have tried reading this book 3 times and always get bored....yes its funny but I never get interested

>>21437116
buperino

>>21437116
I think because the author is a fucking fag.

>>21437449
Oh, that explains a lot.
I read half way through and thought something was off.

>>21439523
you're retarded

>>21439568
okay, retard

>>21437116
I found it to be 90% tedious and 10% clever but not hilariously so. Times change, I guess.

>>21437116
listen to the audiobook narrated by Jim Weiss. It's on youtube.

>>21437116
The first third is a bit of a slog and doesn't make much sense. In the second third things start to click and the final third is the whole point of reading the book. It comes together very nicely with top tier writing.

>>21440086
Ok, I’ve got 200 pages left, I’ll finish it up then.

Only character I really like is Milo Minderbinder.

>>21441679
There's more of him to come, so keep reading

>>21437116
Yeah, I remember feeling the same way. There was a dryness or "flatness" to the story and I don't mean "dry humor". Catch As Catch Can was even worse.

>>21437116
The story is not entirely focused, and incredibly tangential, devoting long stretches or even entire chapters to characters who never really contribute to the story afterwards, i.e Major Major Major Major, and the Indian guy.
This was an intentional choice, I believe, meant to show the mental state of Yossarian.
I've personally interpreted it as Yossarian avoiding the hard facts concerning Snowden etc., with the later clarity in the Italian city meaning to show how he accepts the breality of his situation.
However, it does mean that the pacing can be frustrating. I rather enjoyed reading it and slowly figuring out the main storyline and how it came about.

>>21437443
Could you provide a single explanation or reason as to how Catch-22 is a piece of Zionist propaganda? Aside from the author being Jewish. Y'know, something in the text.
I'm genuinely interested to hear your thought process on this one.

>>21437116
I tried to read it one time and also I tried to watch the movie and I never could get into it it's just something too bizarre about it

>>21437116
I read it this summer. It's awful. It has nothing to say and takes a long time to not say it. There's a reason that it's one of the semi-mandatory books utilized to make high schoolers loathe reading.
>>21437407
Around page 80 I literally thought "this seems Jewish" and looked into it. Satisfying as fuck to see your post, lol.

Finished reading this one last month and it was just so good. The final chapters are pretty depressing tho but the ending was hopeful. The ending had some more intensive effect on me bc i've been having the habbit of reading out loud and performing. Being Yossarian at the end filled me with optimism.

>I don’t get why this book is so boring because it’s actually hilarious and it makes me laugh out loud

Me too. I actually had to read a section to my class, I chose the courtroom scene and I couldn't get through it without laughing. I looked like an idiot. I don't really remember much of it, and almost failed english that year because I didn't do any assignments and got caught for plagiarism.
