Justin Bartell: Catch-22

I chose Catch-22 by Joseph Heller for this summer assignment.  The main reason I chose this book was because I wanted to know where the term "catch 22" originated from.  It is a highly humorous, satirical work that I enjoyed immensely.  It focuses around Yossarian, a bombardier in WWII, but changes its focus to other characters by chapter.  It is set in the time of WWII in a war camp that is filled with idiosyncratic people who think everyone else is crazy.  Humorous paradoxes litter this work, making it a very entertaining read.  Heller, in a humorous way, pokes fun at many elements of war, religion, etc. in this book.  Most likely, I'll be reading it again.

Logan Featherstone: I just finished reading it. To me it shed light on the cruel treatment and unimaginable emotions in which some of these slaves had to go through while under control of there masters in the south. I thought it was a well written book.
