<div>I went into this knowing almost nothing about it, other than I liked the cover and had vague recollections of people saying it was really good, and IT IS.</div>

Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923– December 12,1999)
Before writing Catch-22, Joseph Heller served as a bombardier in World War II and flew 60 combat missions over France and Italy.
That experience became the seed of one of the most famous anti-war novels of the 20th century - a book where war is shown not as noble glory, but as a terrifying system of fear, paperwork, commands, and absurd rules.

Another #book that had been on my to read pile for a long time: The Big Con by Marina Mazzucato and Rosie Collington. It was interesting but not as in-depth as I had expected, and as with many leftwing books, the solutions at the end were a bit handwavy. Not a bad read though, and I had fun bringing in systems thinking into the #review
