catch-22 really appeals to my absurdist and semi-sci-fi side. It reminded me pleasantly of some of the situations Vonnegut sets up while being exactly 1 step closer to reality than Vonnegut usually is. I like absurdist exploration of things in general when done well (One of my favourite works of all time is a play called Rosencrants and Guildenstern Are Dead, which is absurdist existentialism).

I absolutely feel it's earned it's place here on the list. It's one I plan on reading again, in a few years, because I feel like it's something that will change for me as my life experiences change, as 'To Kill a Mockingbird' has, and hell probably by then it'll seem brand new again ;)
