I read it a while ago, but it still sticks in my mind as one of the funniest and almost darkest novels I've ever written. Highly satirical. Heller created one of the most memorable characters in Yossarian. I haven't read Closing Time, but I own the novel... I just can't seem to recapture the laughter and thoughts I had while reading Catch-22. Anyone else read this book that has opinions on it?
