tanvibhakta 's review for:
Catch-22
by Joseph Heller
DID NOT FINISH
Stopped at about 20% of the way through. While this seems like an excellent book, I think it arrived too late in my life.
Reasons I am not enjoying this book any more:
- america centric
- talks about war
- as a result, mostly men
I just can't relate to the first and the last, and don't care to immerse myself in the middle one.
I really enjoyed the (self-referential) humor and the narrative voice in this book. I suspect I would have loved it as a teenager, or if I pick it up on vacation and read it in one or two sittings in quick succession. Right now, I'm favoring books that stay in my head through long gaps between readings. The details in the book that make the humor what it is require an attention to detail that isn't possible with my current style of reading. Maybe one day.
