Advent 12

Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

Yes I know that this one has been in a previous Overgraduate advent calendar, but this year is all about books and I simply cannot leave out this one which redefined the possibilities of fiction so far as I understood them more than three and a half decades ago. Brilliant, exciting, troubling, polymesmeric indeed. Home to another great opening featuring a cleric,
It was love at first sight.
The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.
 
 
 
This book is so good that I notice I have paid it the ultimate compliment of using a virgin betting slip as a book-marker in my copy.
 
Tomorrow, another book I've mentioned before and which is anarchically funny
