  What does catch-22 means?

  once you explain what is catch-22, it ceases to exist; but unless you know what is catch-22 you can't escape it! that's catch-22 :-)) (in the whole book he never tells explicitly what catch-22 was!)
  
  has anybody read his other two books "something happened" (this is also funny but drier) and "we bombed in new haven" (haven't read it yet)? any comments on these?

  Arul:
  
  Read Something Happened - found it more serious Havent read `we bombed in new haven'.
  
  `Good as Gold' was hilarious especially the politican (forget his name who negates everything he mentioned a few seconds earlier- also 'Nothing succeeds' as planned is one more line I wont forget from the book.
  
  Catch-22 was hilarious and serious at the same time. Washington Irving, Major Major, Hungry Joe-characters one cannot forget. The movie didnt do justice to the book (IMO)

  raja,
  
  thanks. is there a movie? !! movies CAN'T do justice to the book. the book is, in one word - impossible :-)) every sentence has a digression. (of course, this is an exaggeration. only every other sentence has:-) ) you can't possibly make a movie out of such a book. as you mentioned catch-22 was hilarious and serious at the same time.
