See you soon!
Thankyou Walter for getting to the “protest industrial complex”. Finally!
Special Request! Please do not do Catch-22 until you've done two more books. Honestly, I need time, brother. For the others, I'll do graphic novels, but I want to read the original version of Catch-22.
That book means a lot to me. I was in high school, sitting in study hall. The football coach was at the back of the room watching game film. Next to me, at the far end from the coach, was an upper classman reading Catch-22, laughing out loud, quietly so the coach would not hear. He wore a wristwatch and it was five minutes until the period ended. I had chewing tobacco in my pocket gifted to me earlier in the day by a shit-kicker. I surreptitiously took it out and put it in my mouth. Salivation began. I looked at the upper classman's watch and it was actually 15 minutes until class ended. Oops. When the bell finally rang, I rushed outside to throw up and go home for the rest of the day.
I hope that explains why I want you to give me time to read the book, which I never have. Thanks in advance!
