## Description

desertcart.com: Catch 22 (1501): 9789997699626: Joseph Heller: Books

Review: Still a great read - It is interesting that, when I first read Catch 22 as a college student, I did not relate it to the Vietnam War per se. I understood it as a general anti-war novel. Reading the book again, as a 78 year old, I have found the book painful at times to read. Scenes with lustful airmen and lustful Roman women are no longer funny, but profoundly sad - which I think Joesph Heller was trying to tell us. Battle descriptions did not move me as much as a young man who believed himself to be immortal, as they have now when I am certain that I am not immortal! It is still a good book, but much sadder now than it was so long ago
Review: The book has much more detail than the movie. - Don't get me wrong about the movie. The 1970 movie was superlative. However the book goes into much more detail, including things which never would have been allowed into a movie. I'm most impressed by the basic premise of the book: War is an insane endeavor and so makes men insane. An insane person can be totally psychotic but at the same time be an accurate observer of their surroundings. (Paranoia is not a disorder of the content of thought but rather is disordered form of the thought itself.) But if they want to get out of the war because of their insanity, that is a sane desire so they cannot be withdrawn from battle for their insanity.
