First line: "The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him."
For some reason, this book made me think of M*A*S*H. Something about the main character's wit and fast, circular thinking reminds me of Hawkeye.
Everyone in this book is insane. Everyone. There is not one single character that has all of their marbles. And the writing reflects that. There were times where I had to listen to an audiobook WHILE I followed along reading because I could not make the words make sense in my head unless I heard them out loud and read them at the same time. Luckily, I found an excellent one on YouTube of a guy who sounded a lot like Alan Arbus and that made me happy.
There was so much repetition and confusing back and forth in this book that I could barely keep up with it, but I believe I know what the author was trying to do with that.
