Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for sharing this deal.

About this book:
  • Fifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest—and most celebrated—books of all time. In recent years it has been named to "best novels" lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer.
  • Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he's assigned, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.
  • This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller's masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos from Joseph Heller's personal archive; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

In case anyone is like me -- I felt I had this book, but this link wasn't showing I purchased it.
That's because it's a "50th anniversary" edition. I looked in my account, and I DO have this book. So I saved myself $2.99 Smilie

I want to buy this, but it's available at my library, but there is a long wait. I wish there was a term to describe my situation.

Kids can't read anymore. The president can't read so why should the kids.

Amazon was giving the regular edition of this book for free a year or two ago.
