I like to read this book every two years. It reminds me of what humor used to be.

maybe the greatest book of the 20th century. I remember going to a reading by Heller. Catch 22 foresaw much of the rise of corporatism. Ironic isnt it that jon voight played milo minderbender in the movie? what is good for the syndicate is good for everyone--- while he arranged to bomb his own air base for profit.
