I started that book four times. The first three times I put it down and (months later) when I picked it back up I couldn't remember what was going on so I started over. The fourth time I finally got it. And it is one of the coolest books ever written.

Huh? Did somebody say something?

Must have been the breeze.

This is by far one of the best books in the entire world.
Absolutely brilliant and cynical.

Quote from: Slartibartfasti loved the lack of plot. it reminded me of RAW. (btw, i finally got Illuminatus! and am going to start reading it soon).

Actually, it has a tremendous amount of plot. It is just in an absurd format. Every scene for the first two thirds of the book is told at least three different times, and from different perspectives. They are just not in a linear order. Even the pieces of the scenes are not in linear order. A bit of this scene merges into that, interrupted by this one over there, crashed into (literally) by another.

The last third of the book is linear - a normal novelistic timeline - but by then your mind is no longer thinking linearly and you don't notice for a long time.

The novel breaks all the rules, is brilliantly sarcastic, has probably influenced more writers than any other 20th century novel, and is one of the most difficult things to read in English literature. I loved it once I caught on. Very chaotic. You all will love it.

My favorite book of all time.

I just started rereading Illuminatus. Don't let anyone tell you it doesn't make more sense the second time- it really does.

i mean, honestly, when you think about it, TV really sucks. here's a list of stuff i'd watch:

Rocko's Modern Life (from Nickelodeon a long time ago)
Carnivale (an HBO show, it was REALLY good)
EWTN( the eternal word television network. my local bible channel. it's pretty funny)

besides that, TV pretty much sucks. the only movies i can think of that have come out in the last 5 years that i like are:

Napoleon Dynamite (in theaters now, looks really funny.)
Office Space (i think that was in '99)- very funny
Pirates of the Carribean- johnny depp can act!
Kill Bill (1 and 2)- tarantino is awesome.

i'm probably missing something. the LoTR movies were okay, but i think they got too much hype. also, every time i read the trilogy, i like it less. compared to books i've read since, it has cardboard characters with no character development. and the pure GOOD vs EVIL thing was annoying.
i like books like DUNE where good and evil are relative (except for the BENE GESSERIT HAGS!!! they were bitches)

Title: CATCH 22
Post by: gnimbley on June 18, 2004, 03:41:38 AM

I loved Dune the first time I read it. I loved the concept of seeding societies with myths to be exploited in emergencies.

When I tried to read it last year I couldn't get past the first scene. I was terribly bored. Went and read The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents instead. Much more fun.

Only thing I watch on TV any more - except when I am at someone's house and they are watching soaps or cartoons or Dr. Phil or such - is local sports. Even then I only watch enough to know if a team is doing good or not. Except the Colts. I watch the Indy Coltts. I know. It's almost unforgivable. So shoot me.

I am with you on movie. Movies used to be so much fun. Now, most of them are corporate designed, demographically targeted, special effects crap. Only the dramas are worthwhile, and most of them are too depressing. The best films I have seen lately have been at art houses. Winged Migration was good. But the best film lately was Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time. It's a portrait of an artist. Fascinating. It is still circulating at art houses. (http://www.roxie.com/Riversdate.html) The DVD is supposed to be out in the fall.

Anyone who has read and enjoyed Catch-22 may enjoy reading it's mid-nineteenth century predecessor, Herman Melville's White-Jacket; or, The World in a Man-of-War (1850).

You can download it for free from several internet sites, including this one: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10712 (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10712)

I'm unaware of anyone else having made a comparison between the two novels. But, I doubt many people have read anything of Melville's other than Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851).

Anyway, for those of you familiar with the many absurdities of military life, you may, or may not, be surprised to learn that things haven't changed much since Melville's day.
