It'll be good stretch for the workout that's coming in William's novel. Oh yeah. I read Catch-22 at 13 when I found it on my dad’s bookshelf (my dad didn’t have many books with words in them.)

I can't wait to dig in. _One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch_ sounds fascinating too. While Jamie's reading _Animal Farm_ and Rob is reading _To Kill a Mockingbird_ I'll pick up _Catch 22_.
