Cheerios, Catch-22 is very easy to follow. It is also very "episodic", in that each chapter is almost like a little story on its own.
In one way, it can be seen as a wry comedy on US Army Bombers living (and flying missions from) an island off the coast of Italy during WWII. In another, it's one of the world's most famous anti-war novels, an extremely cutting satire on the futility of war, bureaucracy, military command and senseless death.
I highly recommend it.
Ubertuber, I love this passage. But what about such memorable characters as Major Major Major Major, Sgt Schieskopf, the Dead Man in Yossarians Tent, Milobender...
Heh...
What a masterpiece.
