Originally published in 1961, Heller’s novel has stood for over 50 years as a dark, yet hilarious take on the horrors of war, bureaucracy and life itself. Heller deftly combines satire, farce, absurdity and stark realism to tell the story of a World War II bombardier squadron, in particular Captain Yossarian, as they attempt to survive their deployment in Italy.
For those interested, Heller published a sequel to Catch-22 in 1994 entitled Closing Time. It continues the stories of a number of the original novel’s characters after the conclusion of the war. Reviews have been decidedly luke-warm.

Guys.....I am really sorry....but, I have read so little of the book, I can't imagine being a valuable participant in this conversation. I am going to drop out of our meeting. See you next month!

I'd like to thank you for that link too. The documentary made me want to read it again, but I'll save it for another time.

Wow this filled up fast, I have two books to finish ahead of this one but since I'm on the wait list right now it doesn't matter. Does this Meetup bump people to yes when others drop out or does one have to do it manually.

Meetup will bump you automatically if a spot opens up. Unfortunately, people typically don't change their RSVP until the last few days before a meeting.

I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

Hi everyone. Great discussion tonight - I'm looking forward to "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." Kimberly, thanks for hosting ...and when I got home I realized I left my jacket on the chair in your library. Sorry about that. I can either get it when we meet next time or, if you don't want to look at it for a month, I can come pick it up at our convenience.
