I loved
Catch-22, but then I wasn't forced to read it. I was rebellious back then, with long hair and the entire mindset of that time (early '70s).
And Harry, like you, I disliked Charles Dickens when I was forced to read him in high school, probably because I was concerned with
S-E-X. Now, being older, I'm able to
multitask and love both sex (lower case, now...hahaha) AND Charles Dickens.
