Externally hosted imageI remember reading this book many years ago. Well, quite a few years ago anyway. I remember that I liked this book a lot. Anyone else here liked this book? What other books did you like a lot?

I started it last year, never did finish it.

I had a decently long Vonnegut phase. It's been way too long since I read a book for fun though.

I've read it a couple times. I first picked it up in Amsterdam a number of years ago and read it while stoned out of my head. My cover for the book is red.

It’s kind of about the absurdities of war, bureaucracy and the military industrial complex. The main character is screwed over pretty hard throughout the story. It’s set during World War II, but it’s satire is broad

When you’re done listening, Amazon also has a screen adaptation

The main character's bitterness reminds me of 1982 Janine (I think...)
