MMM, Catch 22, I was kinda undecided as to whether I liked the book until the end, well I mean I liked it up until that point, but sorta in an it's funny, but it doesn't really go anywhere. I guess I thought it dragged a bit in the middle, but yeah, the ending pushed me into the I loved it camp...
Never read any of his other stuff, was a little worried he was a one trick pony, and didn't want to ruin my good feeling for Catch22.
Last thing I read was Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Technically re read it, but yeah some beautiful poetry there, comes highly recommended, but you might want to read some works of other transcendentalists, (such as Emmerson of Thoreau... Walden gets a nod for being my favourite such work) before reading it, as otherwise it might seem... I dunno, inacessible, mystical etc.
Now I'm readingMelville's short story Bartleby, and I'm not a huge fan of Melville's writing style so far, but I've only read ten pages.
he makes sense now!)
So I've bought that one tonight off Amazon. Staying on the Spanish Civil war has anyone read "For whom the bell tolls" by Hemingway? I know a lot of people don't rate him but I loved it.
