Joseph Heller on paranoia

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
Joseph Heller, Catch-22
Watch out behind you it’s Joseph Heller! Haha, just kidding, he’s not behind you, but he did write this great line about paranoia in Catch-22.
Catch-22 is one of a handful of books I reread every few years. Usually when I have a lull between reading books that are new to me. It’s a kind of favourite book that fills the time between looking for new favourite books. I think that’s what reading is – the search for new favourite books.
Anyway, if you don’t know how to read you should learn. It’s a good time.
