Catch 22's Yossarian appears to have been a role model for moderators worldwide who've copied his arbitrary censoring approach. Orr was the book's hero.

LOL. Initially, I found the book frustrating but by the end of it, I was a convert. If you like satire on censorship, try Josef Skvorecky's Miss Silver's Past. The narrator is a self-centered fool but the committee meetings on new writers and fallen out of favor writers is hilarious.

There's a sequel to Catch 22, called Closing Time which inevitably failed to replicate the former's success. Would like to read it, anyway.

Alan Arkin will be tough to beat as Yossarian. Looking forward to seeing it.

This will certainly be worth watching. Looking forward to it :)
