Why These Books?

I chose these because I really enjoy reading dystopian and historical fiction novels. I like stories that explore different societies, historical events, and the challenges people face in difficult situations. I also enjoy learning about different perspectives and the experiences people had during major historical events.

I chose Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse-Five as my next books because I am interested in how both novels use satire and different perspectives to explore war.
