The Good Soldier Svejk by Hasek, it's the Catch 22 of World War 1

Heller did very similar dark comedy stuff with different topics (God Knows on Biblical subjects, Good as Gold on academia) but none of them are as good.

Vonnegut and Pynchon aren't THAT similar but both have dark senses of humor and fans of Heller tend to be fans of those writers as well.

The best recommendation I could give you is A Confederacy of Dunces, which is maybe the only book ever written I find even funnier than Catch-22.

So... this book is just gravity's rainbow on nothing?

You're a pleb.

I couldn't finish this. The humour feels childish and gets boring after the first hundred pages, characters have nothing interesting about them and the book doesn't really express anything.

I would recommend trying it again. The gradual loss of the humor in simple ironies is an absolutely deliberate feature of the text - it stops being funny and starts being horrifying.

Same but gravity's rainbow

I know how you feel. It took me three attempts to get past a hundred pages, but I am infinitely glad I did.

Amazing book.

I just started that. I am constantly being thrown from humour to disgust.

Excellent book, one of the best comedies out there. Fantastic word play.
