Catch-22

I love war books so when I found this classic for sale at the library I snatched it up.  I wanted to like it so that I could check it off of that list of 100 classics that everyone should read, but I just couldn't. Although the story was interesting, the language and imagery was awful and by awful I mean crude. I know, it's a war book and war is not pretty and I really can handle a fair amount of violence, but I just choose not to read foul language and fill my mind with words that may someday slip out and corrupt the impressionable minds I spend my days with, so...sorry classics list, but I did not finish this book and I don't intent to.
