In the book "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller, the protagonist Yossarian feels a deep sense of pride regarding an officers' club on Pianosa. Despite not contributing to its construction, he sees the building as a testament to his determination. The club stands as a complex and sturdy structure, symbolizing an achievement that he relishes, even though his hands did not help build it.

Yossarian frequently visits the splendid building, appreciating its large and rambling design. Each visit reinforces his feelings of accomplishment, as he reflects on the fact that while he did not participate in its creation, he still derives great satisfaction from its grandeur and what it represents in his life.
