I've read good things about this book. It is on high school reading lists (not saying that only good books are on there, but...), considered a classic, one of the great satires of the 20th century, is a jeopardy clue. It even spawned a catch phrase that is used today.
I had high hopes. I was excited to read Catch-22. And then I started.
Admittedly, I'm not very far into the book. I have struggled to want to read it and the pages are turning quickly when I do pick it up. That being said, I am just not into it. I don't find it to be humorous and I don't find it to be appealing.
I haven't read nearly as much this February as I did in January. I was just stuck on Catch-22.
So today, I put it aside and started (and will probably finish) a young adult book by Margaret Haddix called Sent.
Reading shouldn't be a chore unless you are taking a class. Reading should be fun, relaxing, informative...
So I took a break.
Now I am not saying I am giving up on the book completely. I've started it and damn it, I am going to finish. It is now my own personal challenge to finish Catch-22.
