Book 7 : Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Book: 7
Author: Richard Bach
Pages: 127 (haha, I'm cheating with a skinny book)
This is a fantastic little story about a young seagull who dared to break away from the norm and find a higher purpose to life. Where other seagulls live to eat and flight is merely a way to get to the food, Jonathan lives to fly, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. It's a story about living a dream, finding a higher purpose, living for the joy of flight, freedom, and transcendence.
I had first picked up this book when I was probably around 12 and it stuck with me. I decided to pick it up the other day after running across the Neil Diamond soundtrack to the movie (Mom and I going through her record collection). I wasn't going to count this one originally since I read it in a morning and its few pages are interspersed with quite a few seagull photos but I'm falling behind and it really is a great book, so I'm counting it as my number 7.

I'm glad you enjoyed both the book and the music. This one is definitely a throw-back to the 70's. We were all trying to 'find ourselves' back then. Never saw the movie but loved the soundtrack. (And, there's nothing wrong with the little books - sometimes they hold just the inspriation you need at the moment.) I still can't find the box I packed my newly purchased books in, still wading through them (boxes), seems to be my lifes work. I'm working on Chris' kilt at the moment, seems it's gotten warm enough to wear one. I'll send pictures:D
