Catch-22

I believe that the novel Catch-22 is the best antiwar satire ever created and it boasts the unique disdainful atmosphere that is practically inimitable.
Army turns an individual into a puppet on strings and the book is a marionette theatre of such puppets where the protagonist seems to be the only person capable to possess true human feelings.
The value of a human life is above all so life and war are incompatible.

He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.

Classic. As a teenager, this book was one of my enlightenment moments.

Yes, Nick, a few years ago I reread the novel and enjoyed it greatly once again.
Besides the stupid books they made us read in school, stupid at the time, I’m sure this is the first novel I ever truely enjoyed reading, and the first book I ever read more than once. - )
Here they made us read the stupid books too. Probably it’s the nature of education.
