Endings...Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

Catch-22 is a fictive military pun, according to which if an individual willingly flies life-threatening missions he is insane and therefore not apt to fly them;but if the individual makes the necesary arangements as to be relieved of duty, he proves he is sane and therefore illegible to be relieved from duty. Fun, huh? 

Another medal goes for the main character:Yossarian.An adorable son-of-a-b***h that will do anything to live.A bit of a soldier Dr. House, if you will.

The only thing I can deem as a defect fo this book is that it's HUGE. But...that's also a silver lining, I feel like I'm burying Yossarian right now.and it's sad...

the "endings' part of the post's title has nothing to do with any official alternate title to Catch-22. It's just the bitter-sweet expression of finishing a great book AND the second box of sweet cherry tea.On the same day.
