No book better expresses the paradox of modern life than Catch-22. It is still as fresh, relevant, and uproarious today as it was when first published--maybe more so. It may be a satire, but it is a deceptively realistic one. What, after all, is so sane about rushing off to war? Or so crazy about doing everything in your power to avoid it? While much of the book focuses on backward, incompetent authority figures, no one (least of all the capitalistic system that spawned them) is spared. And yet, the book leaves one with a hopeful feeling: that, with sufficient cleverness and a willingness to subvert authority, one can make one's own way in the world, relatively unperturbed.
I loved this book. It was an amazing read. A woman tells her story of being a Jew married to a Nazi officer during WWII and throughout the Holocaust. Sound complicated? You don't know the half of it.
