Along the same lines, Catch-22 had a huge influence on me, growing up. (Not necessarily entirely positive, though.)

It is very much like Catch-22 - which I have to say i don’t think I ever finished (was too young to really get it). I do remember some of the absurdities making me chuckle.

My family has told me stories about people like the main character, running his rackets in Catch 22. It must have been a truly crazy time

Me too.

It really does capture the absurdity of big organisations brilliantly.
