"Catch-22" is a satirical novel written by Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The book is set during World War II and follows the experiences of Captain John Yossarian, an American bombardier stationed on a fictional Mediterranean island. The title refers to a paradoxical military regulation that states if a pilot requests a mental evaluation to avoid dangerous missions, they are deemed sane, but their desire to avoid danger proves their sanity, thus trapping them in a cycle of illogical reasoning. The novel explores the absurdity and bureaucracy of war, highlighting the struggles and moral dilemmas faced by the characters. Through dark humor and sharp wit, Heller critiques the dehumanizing effects of war and the illogical systems that perpetuate it.

I bought a physical copy a few years ago and quit part of the way through it. It didn't seem to have a cohesive story and I didn't find it funny at all. It had a very "old" type of humor to it.

Absolutely excellent book that's worth paying for. For free, everyone should read it.

The seller in this case is someone that lists a lot of copyrighted work without permission. It'll probably get removed from your library when the seller is removed.

Buy the book and strip the DRM into your local collection as soon as possible, then.

That won't happen. I have a few books that were pulled from the store for copyright and they are still in my library to this day. You're spreading a baseless fear that originated from an isolated incident that happened years ago.

If De Marque did as you claim, they would have been banned from the Kindle store years ago.

I found the beginning a real grind, too. Is it all just the one joke?

I would say yes, but about 50 pages in it became hilarious to me and it's one of my favorite books. I really liked God Knows too, just read that one last year.

The audiobook is hilarious and so well done. I couldn't imagine a better suited narrator.
