Though my reading pattern does consist of juggling multiple books at once, Catch-22 alone has probably made me start more than 10 books just by picking it up and putting it down. Ah well, when I finally do write a review of Catch-22, I shall analyse why that is so. For now, let me focus on The Talented Mr Ripley.
