This week in reading!

Hello everybody! It is time to tell you all about what I have read this week!

A bit of a sad note to start on, I have not been able to read as much as I would have wanted this week, although it is a thrilling book to read and lots of fun. Lately I am swamped with everything from schoolwork to regular work and all the way to having my food held hostage to get me to go to a family get together after a tiresome day at work. To summarize my weekend in short, I have been home for about 2 hours. Enough about my weekend, and me let us get to the book!

So far, there is nothing bad to say about the book. I think it is great, and from what I have read so far, if you want to read a book soon, then catch 22 would be my suggestion. It manages to draw you in and makes you want to keep reading until you know the whole story of Yossarian and his task to survive a war no matter who tries to kill him. In my opinion, the book is easy to read and there is no problem being able to follow along and keep track of what is happening and what has happened.

Now this week quite a lot has happened, we have a character that they call Hungry Joe, due to his insatiable lust for attempting to photograph nude women. He even went as far as telling them that he was taking pictures for life Magazine. Now the catch here is, he actually was before the war. He has flown the required minimum amount of missions to be sent home (which is now at 50 bombing runs), but the order that will eventually send him home has not come yet, and he screams about it at night when the colonel raises the minimum, and sends him on yet another dangerous mission. 

While Joe is being brave and going on bombing runs, another character named Appleby has decided it's time to be brave around the ping pong table, which inevitably ends in a fight.

Yossarian goes out on yet another dangerous mission when the colonel has the brilliant idea to raise the minimum requirement to fifty-five missions, although the U.S army only requires a soldier to do forty. Due to what Yossarian calls stupid army regulations, he has to obey the orders, again Yossarian thinks that both sides are trying to kill him either directly by shooting at him or indirectly by serving him on a silver plate for the enemy to gorge on. Yossarian, being Yossarian eludes death once again and returns to camp in one piece. In all of this mess, Yossarian's pilot manages to keep a cheerful smile on his face, making Yossarian believe his pilot to be the "Craziest combat man in the unit" 

Meanwhile, Milo, one of the few chefs on the base that wants to serve quality food has tried starting a small mafia family within the base, by stealing Yossarian's pilot's bed sheet, ripping it into several smaller pieces then selling them off to other soldiers, while being delusional about how he still holds the moral high-ground while doing so. Yossarian is unable to understand Milo's economic model when he tries to explain it to him and some other soldiers. At the same time, a C.I.D officer is continuing to investigate the letters from Irving Washington, or Washington Irving, also known to us as Yossarian. Milo believes the C.I.D officer is after him and his black market operations.

That is all for this week everybody, hopefully I will be able to read a little bit more and tell you about it next week! Come back anytime and ask me any questions you would like! I will try my best to answer them all.
