Catch 22 is high

I find it funny how high Catch 22 is on the list. I tried to start reading it 2 or 3 times, but always gave up after a couple hundred pages. It was just really long and I could never really get into the book. I guess with so many recommendations, I really should try to finish the entire book sometime. It is a good goal at least.
