Catch 22

I thought it was being screened later this month on Channel 4?

It is currently being advertised. I just coukdn’t Get to grips with the book but will watch it.

I know what you mean about the book Jane - the protagonist keeps flashing back to a terrible incident that traumatised him. Never mind the poor rear gunner who had been hit.
Doesn't get explained until nearly the end.

It's not been on yet in the UK and I've not seen a date advertised. It'll be worth watching for George Clooney alone.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I almost never give up on a book, keep ploughing on in the hope that it will improve, but I gave up on catch 22

I`ve always meant to read the book, now I`m not so sure anymore

Maybe the film etc is topical now because of D-Day. Though the story takes place during the Italian campaign, 1943.

I read it when about 20, enjoyed it then, but have only vague memories of it now!?
I will have to watch the film.

I remember reading this when I was 15 and being so impressed that I lent it to my Dad, who loved war stories.

He read the first line and threw the book at me (literally) accusing me of reading filth.
