  Just finshed Catch-22. At first it seemed like such a silly book but it changes on you. It is actually a mind-reeling satire that shows the stupidicy of war and those who wish to benefit from it. I really enjoyed it and recommend it highly to anyone that has three weeks to spare. It's a very long book but it's worth it.
I also read Oedipus Rex. I thought that it would be very boring and dry but it was surprisingly modern. I could relate with all the characters. The plotline, though a bit unorthodox in a way that I disliked, was logical and made sense. Except for in one scene a random messenger is very much intwined with the controversy of Oedipus's misfortune. I thought that Sophceles resorted to a very convientent coniencidence with that one. Now onto On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. *sigh* I have no life. Bookworm Mark
