I was assigned to read it in school.  It is one of the few books that made me LOL.

"Catch 22"
« Reply #16 on: November 05, 2001, 12:15:00 AM »
The FIRST thing I do whenever I find myself outside of sleep is to look for a WAY OUT!

I am convinced that I perished in a previous life from not being able to get out!  Out of what I do not know but I have this nagging apprehension everytime I find myself in anything enclosed.

I related deeply to Yossarian and to this day consider him a kindred spirit in the battle of life.

Yes, like "colonel Koshkart", etc... Original name of the book was "Ulovka-22", the new translation was called "Popravka-22".
