Europe under extreme duress

While doing some research for an article I’m writing I stumbled across this 1981 political cartoon. It is telling how little things have changed in 45 years! Just change the old Soviet imagery for a Russian eagle and this is about 2026.

Except that all the objects would be strewn on the floor and the subject of the cartoon would be on his ass.

I was thinking Catch 22 as well, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that The Dictator may actually be a better told story.

I went out of my way to try and be a better read person after I graduated college and read Catch 22. I was expecting a WWII version of MASH (the movie, not the show), but I found it to be more rambling than anything else.

Have you seen the adaptation of Catch-22 on Hulu? It is outstanding.

I've heard others say it was good (it may have been here), but I think I had emotional scars left by trying to finish the book. Like battered-wife syndrome.

"I have to finish the book. It's world-renowned. It has to be me, not the book..."

I'll add it to the mental list, but others are ahead of it in the cue.

Some books are like that. I HAD to read Moby Dick and Last of the Mohicans and it seemed like a death march but years later I still enjoy tossing out the occasional Ahab or Bumppo quote. There is nothing wrong with DORing on a book you’re not enjoying.
