Are you fucking kidding? Catch-22 has some of the wordiest prose ever written. It's a fucking fire-hose of adjectives and rambling exposition.

I read Catch-22 when I was a dumb 14 year old who thought that flowery, descriptive prose was a waste and that the author should get to the point, and I absolutely loved it. No idea what you're talking about.
