"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" This is one of the very few books I've ever read multiple times throughout my life. It's very simple. I think that's why I like it so much. This book is definitely not for everybody, and I do believe that it requires an open mind. But for those that can connect with the story, I feel like it has a lasting impact. It's the story of Jonathan, the seagull that is unsatisfied with just learning how to fly. This is a bird with an intense desire to learn and to push limits and boundaries. This book is about his journey, the stages he goes through, the obstacles that he faces. I almost don't want to say anything else about it, maybe because I don't want to give the wrong idea or to elevate expectations. You could almost call this a children's book. You can easily read it in one sitting, but trust me when I say that it will live in your mind for far longer than that.View all 2 sources
[If I could encourage young people to read one book] I’d encourage them to read Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.View source
