Hello, and welcome to my book reading blog.

My name is Jonas and on this very page I will share with you my very own review of the famous novel, Catch 22. Catch 22 was written by American author Joseph Heller, who was born in 1923 in Brooklyn, New York. His love for writing started when he was a young child studying at Abraham Lincoln High School. He wrote a story about the Russian invasion of Finland. After he graduated High School he enrolled in the army where he flew a total of 60 combat missions. After the war was over he enrolled at the University of Southern California and NYU to study English, and in 1949 he received his M.A. in English at Columbia University. Before Heller wrote his most famous novel Catch 22, wrote several short stories at home, in which one of them was featured in the American magazine The Atlantic.

Over the course of the next few weeks I will share with you my own review of Catch 22 cover for cover and chapter for chapter. I am excited to share my experience with you as we will both delve into this masterpiece of a book. It tells the story of the airmen of the 256th squadron as they are partaking in combat missions in Italy. They are, however, instead of flying these combat missions looking for ways to avoid them. Throughout the book I will, together with you, find out how this all will play out. And now we start our book journey together.
