Catch-22: A Novel (Simon & Schuster Classics)

A story about this — 4 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I’m reading this as part of Defective Yeti’s   NaNoReMo 2007 (National Novel Reading Month 2007). So far, I’m bowled under by the lack of plot, but I can’t say I’m not enjoying the book – I giggle aloud usually once or twice a chapter. Still, I’m not sure a book that’s essentially nothing more than a string of Saturday Night Live skits will keep my interest until the end. In particular, I’m getting tired of the list of captains and majors and colonels and so on, many of whom I suspect of having been introduced just so chapters can have titles.

oh hey!

NaNoReMo sounds like a bril idea! :)


Well, I certainly prefer it to NaNoWriMo. On the other hand, I usually average more than one novel per month, so I’m finding it tough to adjust my pace to Defective Yeti’s (well, that’s a lie – I’m currently slightly behind because I was rereading Strangers in Paradise, but I’ll shoot back again soon). Also, I’m reading a library copy and will have to give it back before the end of the month, so something’s got to give.
