Thread: have you read Catch 22

wow how did i miss such a book . will read it as soon as i can

It is definitely not for 10-12 year olds, but then I was no
ordinary 10 year old. I was reading BSc books at that time

You should read "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" . No relation to the cartoon

sure!!! I just read the plot of the book and found it interesting.

I read Catch-22 first time some 18/19 years back. Then I was in the high school.
Keep reading it once every 4/5 years. As I grew older, my perceptions of the book also changed.
A must read for anyone.

It also gave a new phrase to the English language
"a catch-22 situation"

I wonder how I didn't know about this book too... Thanks Nandini for sharing!

girlfriend at that time.

Well this book is definitely not for teenegers. In the beginning it's ok but as the story progresses it becomes gorier n darker.
