Catch 22
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1961). Narrated by Wolfram Kandinsky.
Books On Tape, Inc. 1980, ISBN 0-7366-8962-1, unabridged,
12 Audio Cassettes (90min), reader Wolfram Kandinsky.
This recording (on cassette tape only) is currently out of print.
My favorite recording of Catch-22, read by Wolfram Kandinsky.
I decided to digitize my audio cassettes after a cassette broke.
Books On Tape, Inc. reported it is out of print and they could
not replace the cassette.
My own opinion: the Kandinsky reading captures the essence of
the book, while other readers detract, or distract, from the
essence of the book.
Transferred from cassette (Nakamichi Dragon) to CD (via

Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The novel, set during the later stages of World War II from 1943 onwards, is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century.
The novel follows Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, and a number of other characters. Most events occur while the airmen of the fictional Fighting 256th (or "two to the fighting eighth power") Squadron are based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of Italy
The Modern Library ranked Catch-22 as number 7 (by review panel) and as number 12 (by public) on its list of the greatest English language novels of the twentieth century.
Time Magazine puts Catch-22 in the top 100 English language modern novels (1923 onwards, unranked)
