We don't talk about Catch-22 very often. I suggest you replace it with The Book of the New Sun or 2666.

What's the best book on there, lads?It's Blood Meridian
>>7512676
it's moby dick
moby dick > brothers karamazov > lolita = catch-22 > infinite jest > blood meridian > gravity's rainbow > ulysses
>>7512687
Wrong, nigger:
JR=The Recognitions=Stoner=Agapē Agape>>>>All that shit>>>>Infinite Jest
>>7512676
Infinite Jest > The Brothers Karamazov > Gravity's Rainbow > Ulysses > Lolita > Moby Dick > Catch-22 > Blood Meridian
Is Catch 22 any good? Read GR recently and loved it, sounds kinda simular.

Catch-22 is hilarious and really dark. Honestly I recommend it just because of how funny it is, only book that's ever made me laugh out loud. It definitely has some great literary value too though.

>only book that's ever made me laugh out loud
have you not read infinite jest?
>>7512797
Definitely will give it a shot soon, I'm a sucker for humor in literature.
We don't want to turn into a shithole like /mu/ with 'core' this and that.
Also the P/V translation is turgid shit you reddit fuck.

Get fucking memed bro

Infinite Jest was pretty funny but
I wouldn't describe it as a funny book. It had some hilarious moments though. Catch-22 is consistently hilarious and there were a bunch of scenes that I still remember laughing over.
All > Catch 22

Someone doesn't know how to laugh.

“What do you do when it rains?"
The captain answered frankly. "I get wet XD.”
>>7512729
This but with IF and Moby Dick switched
>>7513005
Have to agree to be completely honest family. Catch- 22 has low quality, blatant satire.
Oh look, these guys are so stupid. These guys are also stupid. And cowardly. And the officers are very stupid and selfish. War is so bad guys, understand?
>no Homer

this and it goes on too long, it should be a fucking short story.
Help me guys, i am from europa, and i cant find those books in original version in my library. What do
>>7512694
>he thinks Agape Agape is as good as JR and Recognitions
Learn how to read you fucking troglodyte

>My name is Dmitri I just want to fuck around all the time and drink
>My name is Ivan, I'm an angsty teen who is afraid of being dumb
>My name is Alyosha, I am literally Jesus and flawless
>My name is Smerdyakov, I'm an abused child, how non-trite and original
Sin is really bad guys, you need Jesus, understand?
The only good book in that list is Lolita.
>>7512669
If i have read everything else on that list is catch 22 worth reading?
I don't know why, but it always sounded like one step up from vonngut hackdom. aka still shit.
>>7513389
It's polarizing, that's for sure. Took me two failed attempts before I made it past 100 pages. I am very glad I did. I think it's very, very funny.
Give it a shot. It's more profound and funnier than Vonnegut, that's for sure.

>Porn addict on the subject of taste
>>7513064
this catch-22 is high-school/ upper-pleb tier, as is Lolita and Blood Meridian
>>7513213
this desu
Lolita, Blood Meridian and Catch-22 should be swapped out for Don Quixote, The Iliad, and either The Recognitions, 2666, or the Magic Mountain.
>No stoner
Stoner and The Recognitions should be on this list. Otherwise, looks good to me.
>>7513444
The Recognitions is barely even meme.
