how do you guys feel about this one
>>24686973it filtered me as a teenager but i want to give it another crack now that im older and a bit dumber.
i'm a fan. had me in stitches. i enjoyed this audiobook.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Q3UsA3F-k
Had it sitting on my shelf for years but always had something more interesting to read first
Perhaps I didn't get far enough into it but it gets so repetitive for me. I get it's the catch-22 but every page is filled with catch-22s that it gets tiresome to read for me. I've tried reading it three times and I can still never get past the first ~150 pages.
>>24686973Fun desu.
>>24686973very funny book written by a jew.
I read this when I was 20 years old. It's clever and an interesting look into the war from the American perspective. It shows things that your average person doesn't think about regarding the soldier's experience. I despise the US military, but it's a good book.

Irving Washington
>>24686973good for an 11 year old.
I read it, followed by its sequel, when I was 15. Enjoyed it a lot but I'll never read it again so that I don't soil it's memory by finding out I don't like it now as an adultI still sometimes say "where are the snowdens of yesteryear" to myself randomly
>>24686973Funny and innovative, but overwritten. Obviously a first novel.
>>24686973Good.
Amazing and a classic for a reason. Don't read it
>>24686973funny would recommend
>>24687922This. It's one-note and even if you absolutely LOVE that note, you can still get tired of it. Sort of like actually reading the Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce, same concept. You start out reading every word, then halfway through, you're skipping whole pages. Maybe it's better if you read it episodically, but it's hard to binge.
>>24686973Filtered me for a long time, but eventually I found it hilarious, and a pageturner. Unsatisfying ending, though.
>>24686973It drips boomerisms, but there are some humorous and meritorious aspects to it. Mixed bag.
>>24688394>>24688453Was his character some sort of metaphor for postwar US imperialism?
>>24686973It has a lot of great "scenes" (I particularly liked when the Italian cripple triggers the airman by continuously suggesting that Italy's weakness makes them mightier than the US) but overall I'd give it a 7/10 because there's a lot of dull and repetitive nothing between.>Just like war Shitty literary device
>>24693119I'd say it's about how every war can be used by some faggot to get rich and richer until the whole war keeps on going just to keep enriching said faggot.
>>24693119Minderbinder might be one of the least subtle critiques of capitalism in fiction I dunno how you didn't get it.
>>24693306>of capitalismmidwit
>>24693670My apologies I forgot that M&M Enterprises was not operating under the True Free Market ®.
>>24693847I don't think Milo ever decried the existence of the products for him to misappropriate
>>24688394>>24688453>>24693281>>24693306Dont forget the case with egyptian cotton!>every time i hear egyptian cotton i recall Milo and his escapadesAnd then there was Hupple's cat.
