Catch 22

i get pretty confused when i recommend a book or a movie to someone. if i say it is bad, obviously they don't go after it. if i say it is good people forget. if i say awesome then they read/see it, then come and say, "it was okay/good. but not as good as you said it is." reading/watching something after someone recommends it takes out half the fun.

it's a catch-22 situation. you cant make someone enjoy something as much as you did whatever you say. i have had the problem with catch-22. so, for me, catch-22 is a catch-22. i accept it is a bit boring to read. i myself abandoned the book once, and only uber-boredom turned me back again to the book. i finished the book, it gets better as you read. as you progress you will understand that the start was just the right thing. it is now one of the 2 books i really fell in love with, the other being LotR.

i have tried the following ways of recommending catch-22
1. it is a nice book. the start is little boring
2. it is a gr8 book. the beginning is a little difficult
3. it is the f**king greatest book ever.
4. plzzzzzzz read it
5. start reading the book or i will curse you and all of your family

sadly, none worked. there must be some curse on the 20th page, coz everyone who dared to read, stopped there. if someone finds some way you have tried successfully please let me know....
