My attention really sucks lately, I find it difficult to read more than a couple of pages before getting restless or my mind fucking off into another plane. I've noticed standing or walking kinda helps though.

The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. Great so far.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is one of my favourite novels, but I honestly no idea how I'd even begin to describe it.
I've never finished Catch-22; just has never captured my attention.

i read underground, the book about the '95 sarin gas attacks in tokyo, back in the spring and enjoyed his writing. i own the wind-up bird chronicle but haven't tackled it since i bought it on new year's eve. most people i would ask around here probably haven't read that one, so most people will likely tell me to read catch-22.
i'd be fine with either, i guess. the wind-up bird chronicle seems more intriguing to me. i feel like letting other people make the decision for me this time.
