I started on Catch-22 today. The last time I read it was my sophomore year of highschool. It'll be nice to return to it, especially as I'm more mature than I was then and may pick up on some things in the book that I didn't before.
I remember an episode of Animaniacs in which Ben Stein voiced a character by the name of Francis Pumphandle, "...but my friends call me Pip." Now Pip was a caricature of Stein, and his almost monotone drone was exaggerated for the cartoon. During his long and boring monologue he spoke of Catch-22, and how it was a long novel, and he never finished novels. Now, this edition is in hardcover from Simon & Schuster, and weighs in around 400 pages, which compared to some other books I've read, isn't long at all. I think we all know I won't have any problems finishing it.
