Catch-22
Author: Joseph Heller
Genre: Satire
Catch-22 is a political satire on World War II, but it might as well be a satire about human life in general. The book is aweinspiring in its hopelessly confused logic. Each chapter is written from a different person's perspective, totally misplaced on the timeline - often you find yourself recieving the punchline of a joke several chapters before anybody even tells you the joke.
That Joseph Heller even managed to stitch together all the little bits and pieces is admirable indeed, because Catch-22 is without doubt one of the most absurd books ever written.
One of the best as well.
