I understand books don't always have the same emotional reaction. I discovered Catch-22 at a rebellious time in my youth; but it was also a time of cultural rebellion and growth for my country, too.
I haven't re-read the book since that time in 1972, but I remember how absurd (in different - or perhaps in similar? - ways than today) the world was back then.

Oh well, I loved Hard to be God in my youth as well. Didn't like it when I re-read it a few weeks ago. So, who knows?
The book is a bit crazy...making a lot of fun showing idiocity of Army...reminds me very much Soviet Army....
I even giggled a couple of times yesterday
It is just not the type of a book I enjoy reading.
I am not going to say it is rubbish (like I do when I remember The Redemption of Althalus
). Just probably not my cup of tea.
