About to start this. What can I expect?

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 16:39:06 2020 No.14943909 Catch-22 by Joseph Keller

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 16:40:09 2020 No.14943917 I'm halfway through it right now, it's funny and reminds me of the tv show MASH

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 17:19:16 2020 No.14944141 >>14943816 theres gonna be words

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 17:24:00 2020 No.14944166 A book that is by turns hilarious, depressing, frustrating, and uplifting.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 17:26:49 2020 No.14944177 The best Catch-22 scene (Clevinger's Trial) isn't even in the book. Major Major Major Major comes close though

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 17:26:59 2020 No.14944178 >>14943816 It's very funny and very sad at the same time. It's amusing, but nothing more than that.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 18:00:59 2020 No.14944364 It's a long comedy routine and some of it is funny.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 18:04:43 2020 No.14944400 this was the best book of all time when i was 16/17

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 18:08:51 2020 No.14944436 >>14943909 Kek

>>	U-rantian !F3NIGm2762 Tue Mar 24 18:11:07 2020 No.14944453 >>14943816 "Everyone has a share." Milo my favourite character.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 18:26:14 2020 No.14944548 >>14943816 Gets a bit weird in the second half, but stick to the ending, it's worth it

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 18:32:26 2020 No.14944599 >>14943816 I could never get tired of reading this book. Favorite character is easily the old man in the brothel. Enjoy, OP.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 19:42:21 2020 No.14945035 >>14944805 >Scheisskopf Lmao I didn't know German when I read the book but Scheisskopf means shithead.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 19:43:46 2020 No.14945042 >>14943816 Imagine unironically reading a meme book

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 19:45:09 2020 No.14945057 >>14945042 Imagine not reading something that you might enjoy

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 22:27:49 2020 No.14945902 I thought it was shit honestly

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 22:50:49 2020 No.14946011 >>14943816 I was told that the outline the story follows is a reflection of Yossarian's mental state. It allowed me to appreciate the book more as I was reading it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 25 01:00:16 2020 No.14946540 >>14943816 Captain Portnoy's Complaint

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 25 05:17:04 2020 No.14947343 >>14943816 It's pretty funny, show's the absurdity of war, and people that don't take anything whatsoever seriously. It's an amusing read.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 25 05:36:45 2020 No.14947414 >>14947343 This is accurate. It was one of the first books that I continued reading, not because I wanted to know what was going to happen or that I cared about any of the characters, but because it was so funny.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 25 08:52:11 2020 No.14947991 >>14947410 imagine thinking a book you dont find funny isnt funny because of something as meaningless as the authors race.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 25 08:54:13 2020 No.14947998 >>14947991 Jews are inherently unfunny, sorry. Try being born as a real human next time, Moshe
