I like the narrator. I had heard him on a few other books. Yeah, sometimes my mind wanders during audiobooks, but if it's good and I like the narrator, I don't have a problem. It’s not bad.

]]> Comment on What’s the Catch? by search engine marketing http://chetgassett.com/2011/12/whats-the-catch/#comment-164 search engine marketing Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:27:47 +0000 http://chetgassett.com/?p=560#comment-164 Joseph Heller’s debut novel Catch-22 will always be remembered as a brilliantly scathing indictment of war and one of the great absurdist comedies of 20th century American literature. However, it also created a painful catch-22 for its author at the expense of his subsequent works, which he would eventually explore in his final novel Portrait of an Artist as an Old Man. Sometimes life traps you in an unfortunate situation that is impossible to escape from because of a set of inherently absurd rules. Take Joseph Heller, for example. The very first novel he published was among the most biting, powerful, hilarious examples of contemporary literature, a genuine classic of 1960s anti-war literature. Yet, Heller was forever trapped by that novel, unable to achieve similar success with his subsequent works no matter how fine they may have been. Both that painful predicament and that auspicious debut novel are known as Catch-22, and one hopes that an absurdist such as Joseph Heller had to at least appreciate that irony a little.

There are a few tasty sounding recipes in the book, as well as some brief instructions on how to make homemade noodles. Honestly I'm pretty interested in trying out some of the instant ramen recreations. I do intend to do some further ramen exploration.
