He's on our list of great American writers, but we wanted to know: What are Jonathan Franzen's favorite books?
Something Happened by Joseph Heller
From the Publisher
Something Happened is Joseph Heller's inventive and controversial second novel satirizing business life and American culture. The story is told as if the reader was overhearing the patter of Bob Slocum's brain—recording what is going on at the office, as well as his fantasies and memories that complete the story of his life. The result is a novel as original and memorable as his Catch-22.
Why Catch 22 by Joseph Heller is one of Hugh Laurie's all-time favorite reads
