So...Catch-22

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:05:53 -0400

I haven’t ever read this before. I got about a chapter into it when I left it by my chair at the pool and someone swiped it, thus the suggesting to read it now. I am normally a really fast reader and I am finding this really chewy? It is so intricate sometimes that I have to reread paragraphs, which is fine, but now I am wondering what kind of crap do I normally read that makes this a little more difficult. Or maybe Heller is just a difficult read anyway? This is the first of his that I am reading so I don’t have an answer to that either.

Hope yall are enjoying it though. I really am.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

by Junot Diaz

It’s like Gabriel Garcia Marquez on crack. Set on the East Coast and in the Dominican Republic. With ample political commentary. Sexual repression. And the hot hot Caribbean heat.

Must. Read.

READING IS THE NEW BLACK

Ok, given the e-mails and posts on here, we are going with Catch 22. Don’t kill me if you’ve already read you some Heller. That’s just how we are going to roll this month, majority rules. Try to read it by August 1.

XOXO. Rach.

Catch-22

A friend chose this book for me today. Must be fate…

I vote On the Road too. I could go either way, but this one is already sitting on my shelf.

My votes for On The Road. I’ve never read either book, but isn’t On The Road supposed to be like, the book that defined a generation (I vaguely remember an english teacher saying so…)

My vote’s for Catch 22… I’ve actually never read it… Sad I know…

I vote for Catch-22. I read that 11 years ago and I feel like it’s time for a re-read!

we should decide

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:20:11 -0400

I’m cool with both Catch 22 and On the Road…

… but I kinda feel a decision SHOULD be made !

I’ve always wanted to read Catch-22.

I’m up for anything - I’m just ready to get started. As far as old school goes, I’d love a Kurt Vonnegut book. I’ve never read anything by him. I’ve never read Catch-22 either.

anyone want to go old school and read something like catch-22?

Yay! It’s Friday - that means a new selection will be forthcoming very soon. Rach - don’t keep us in suspense for too long. The weekend is the perfect time to pick up a new read!

What about What Remains? It’s a non-fiction account of the lives of JFK Jr. and his wife as told by a close friend.

I’d also like to read The Geography of Bliss and Never Let Me Go. I’ve also never read On The Road. I’m sure many of you have, but I’d be up for it!
