[Fellow Traveler]

200 hundred posts and not one mention of Saul Bellow's "Henderson the Rain King" This is absolutely the worst dreck it has ever been my misfortune to come across. I had to read this in high school. I normally read 1 to 2 books a week at that time. I could not get through this at all. Somebody mentioned "Catch-22", I loved that book in high school. I must have read it 4 or 5 times. Each time you read it something else pops out at you. I think the problem people have is the whole book is a series of events that happen out of order, kind of like the movie "Pulp Fiction"

I read "Atlas Shrugged years later and except for the 70 pages speech at the end enjoyed it.

It really helps to have been in the service;
In my brief seven years I met a real life version of every character in the book and Catch 22 itself.
If I could spell I might have tried to pen a sequel.
