    Catch-22 maybe? I forget the author.

  2. Curtis says:

    Not Catch 22 by Joseph Heller… But that was my first thought too…

    Still need to finish that book.

  3. red says:

    Nope, not Catch-22 – although Catch-22 is also represented in this list.

    Oh, come on now. You gave the title away right in the very quote!

  5. red says:

    I posted this one for you, Miss Emily.

  6. Emily says:

    I kind of figured! Oh, and it’s Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet, in case anyone else is stumped. Genet wrote it from prison. The dirtbag that he was and all.
