Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is a modern satirical classic about the absurdities of war. A perennial reading list favorite, it continues to deliver sly humor and acerbic social commentary to audiences young and old. Bombardier Yossarian has had enough of war, and he wants out. In order to be released from duty, he has to be declared insane, but to prove he's insane he must continue embarking on bombing missions-and that's the catch! Be sure to check out Heller's sequel to Catch-22, Closing Time, also available from Recorded Books.
