Couldn't agree more. It was nearly the deal breaker for me when I was doing my original research, but I assumed that it would get resolved sooner or later.

I must have bought the paperback half a dozen times - I keep giving them away saying "you must read this". Not sure how that is going to work in eBook format!

I can't remember the exact quote, but my favourite part is when Yossarian is with a girl and says "..but I didn't think you believed in God". "I don't" she replies, "but the God I don't believe in is a good God, a kind God, a merciful God. Not the mean, nasty God you make him out to be." Or something like that

Iris Murdoch is good news too. In fact, back catalogues are good news in general - there was some fantastic writing in the 60s, 70s, and 80s - can't wait to see some of it resurface.
