The literal first sentence of this starts off talking about romance. No, thanks.

Relax mate.

The first sentence suggests otherwise.

No. It just bores me. It's basically the same thing every time.

So Catch 22 is basically the same as, say, Twilight?

No. Just the love story angle.

And what's wrong with love stories again? And are you sure that there even is a love story angle to Catch-22?

Love stories are usually pointless and take the focus away from the actual plot.

No, you got me, I am not 100% that there is one present in Catch 22, but, then, that begs the question as to why they would choose to begin the story that particular way.

No ****, Sherlock.

Catch-22 and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are the only books that cracked me the **** up.
