I like the Alice books, I love the absurdity and the wordplay and the fact that they unabashedly exist for that playfulness. The only problem is that there are portions that can be rather dull when the humor has gone sour over the last century.

Have you read Journey to the End of Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine? It's like a WWI Catch 22, and in my opinion much more literary, much more funny, and much more worthy of rereading.

If you can find a copy, check it out. You'll definitely enjoy it you like Catch 22 so much.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 28 00:04:58 2010 No.1241042 >>1241037 You know, I've heard of Celine, but never read anything by him. I'll definitely be sure to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendation.
