yes, taking the plunge does the indeed sound a bit risky. on the one hand you might just end up discovering a treasure trove of delicious absurdist humor, but on the other hand you run the risk of forever tarnishing your memory of Catch-22

You know it, baby.
There seems to be something horribly wrong with the top of his hat, though. I might just have to fire up MS Paint and have a look at it. Might just.

Buy a lot of Heinlein books, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Heinlein kind of went batshit insane in his later days

Finished Brian Keene's Dead Sea the other day. As usual, it was a very good zombie book. Unlike the previous ones it never went weird with demons and talking zombies driving trucks and shooting guns. But you do get zombie dogs, fish, sharks, and other stuff. A good fast read you can finish in a few afternoons.
Putting a hold on my other books to try SM Stirlings Dies the Fire. It's post apocalyptic, in that some mysterious white flash started at Nantucket and encircled the globe, rendering all modern technology useless. Lights go out, planes fall from the sky, guns don't work, etc. The only thing that annoys the fuck out of me so far is the annoying Wiccan shit. "By Goddess" and "blessed be" is shouted a lot while characters draw a pentagram in the air. Very :larp:.

Easy:
Satan = the government
government laws prohibit burning people
you fail because you don't have the balls to fuck around with the gov.

PS Side note "King Warrior Magician Lover" is an informative book written by Moore and Gillette. It has some cool psychological mumbo-jumbo in it
