To the guy who wrote that Slaughterhouse 5 and Catch 22 were the most durable novels of WWII: yeah, if you were a milk-fed, overeducated Boomer Brat who had never been near that war. S5 and C22 were among the Great Dorm Books discussed reverentially all night by mousy intellectuals tutored by self-important drop-outs from the Greatest Generation. Thankfully the internet has loosed the grip of such weaklings and their progeny over public opinion.
