Catch-22 (A Dell book)

Joseph Heller's darkly brilliant masterpiece takes you into the absurd logic of war, where staying alive means being declared insane, and asking to be grounded proves you're sane enough to fly more missions. This satirical triumph captures the maddening circular reasoning of military bureaucracy with razor-sharp wit and unforgettable characters like Yossarian, the bombardier who just wants to survive. A genre-defining work that gave us the phrase that describes impossible situations everywhere. Perfect for readers who appreciate dark humour, literary satire, and novels that changed how we see the world.
