Braydon[/caption]The library cannot provide its extended hours and services, during the academic year, with-out the help of its student workers. We are deeply appreciative of all the work they do and would like to showcase them on the blog this semester. We have asked them to recommend a book or media item to the Coe community and will post a brief introduction and their suggestions in the coming weeks.
Library student worker Braydon Roberts is a sophomore who works in the George T. Henry College Archives. He suggests the Book "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller, because "It is a classical work set during World War II that also involves a lot of humor."
Catch-22 in the Library Catalog
Catch-22 is set in the closing month of World War II, in an American bomber squadron on a small island off Italy. Its hero is a bombardier named Yossarian, who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he hasn't even met keep trying to kill him. (He has decided to live forever even if he has to die in the attempt.)
His problem is Colonel Cathcart, who keeps raising the number of missions the men have to fly.
