"I haven't really the foggiest idea about what the man is trying to say… Apparently the author intends it to be funny – possibly even satire – but it is really not funny on any intellectual level … From your long publishing experience you will know
— from Joseph Heller's rejection letter for Catch-22
The Modern Library has ranked Catch-22 as the 7th (by review panel) and 12th (by public) greatest English language novel of the twentieth century. The Radcliffe Publishing Course ranked Catch-22 as number 15 of the twentieth century's top 100 novels. The Observer listed Catch-22 as one of the 100 greatest novels of all time. TIME puts Catch-22 in the top 100 English language modern novels. The Big Read by the BBC ranked Catch-22 as number 11 on a web poll of the UK's best-loved book.
Michael Kindt, author of this post, ranks it as the greatest novel of all time, in any language. He assumes there are other languages out there besides English, but he isn't sure why, nor does he apologize for his English-language centrism.
To date Catch-22 has sold well over 10 million copies, while managing all the while to keep off the Bestseller List.
Joseph Heller's daughter, Erica, has never read her father's masterpiece. She admits to starting it many times, but always refuses to finish it. "If I finish it, it's over," she explains simply.
Catch-22 is required reading in three separate courses at the United States Air Force Academy, where it has, apparently, done no good.

Damn your neighbor sucks. I married a guy when I was 19 (I know!) and after we moved in together I quickly learned that he had a raging temper and loved making me feel like shit. When he began beating our puppy with a closed fist (for peeing on the carpe
Yeah. That saying "You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them"…or something like that…is very true. I feel so helpless about everything.
