catch22s really good after i finished i kept wanting to answer questions in the strange ways that the conversations in the book go.but no one ever sets up questions to be answered like that.
"when did you call me" "i never called you" "when? "i allways never called you"
thats the best part about the book, the conversations

the selfish gene is my favorite book, but nobody cares what my favorite book is, similarly to how I don't care what anyone else's favorite book is, except for the few people who aren't retarded.

'brave new world' contains lot of (black) humor and because of that it is much easier to read.
Nothing funny in 1984.

I'm reading a few Descartes biographies and a T.S. Eliot compilation at the same time.
Descartes was 5'1", slept in the nude, and never got up before 11.
