Catch-22(v10)
When Colonel Cathcart heard of the deaths in his squadron he raised the number of mission needed to leave to 70. The guy Hungry Joe is only happy when he hasn't completed all his missions. When Hungry Joe completes all his missions he has nightmares and screams and acts like a maniac during the night. During the book it metions several trips to Rome and how the officers and enlisted men spend their time. Most of the time in Rome is with whores and prostitutes. When Yossarian was in the hospital with the man who saw everything twice he had the idea to fake the same disease to avoid combat duty. The origanal guy who had the disease died, but his family was already on the way so Yossarian was told by the doctors that he had to pretend they were his family. When Yossarian told the family his name what his name was the father could have swore his name was Guiseppe, the brother didn't doubt Yossarian and kept correcting the mother who kept saying Guiseppe. Yossarian was hit in the thigh during a mission and was badly injured. Yossarian lived no thanks to Aarfy, who is just annoying. Yossarian saw a psychiatrist in the hospital who decided he was crazy so Yossarian could go home, but the psychiatrist thought Yossarian was someone else so he had to stay. I know this blog jumped around but that is actually how most of the story is.
