Catch-22

Both of the book clubs I'm in read a variety of kinds of books from current fiction and non-fiction to classics.  Next week the women's book club will be discussing Joseph Heller's Catch-22.  It has been on my "to read" list for a while since I didn't get to it when I was a student.  (And I don't count that I saw the movie in college.)  I have also wanted to read it because it is a very favorite book of both of my daughters.

Both of said daughters typically like very different kinds of books and movies, so for them to both like this one so much surprised me a little.  That is, until I read it.  The humor and logic remind me very much of Monty Python which are some of the videos that our whole family can agree on.

I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it in high school or college, but there were certainly parts of it that I found quite funny, and I did enjoy that this book is unlike any other that I have read.
