    A very short, easy read - but such a beautiful story. On the surface, it's about a seagull who strives for more than his companions. But at it's heart, this book inspires us to reach for our goals and believe that anything is possible. I read this many, many years ago, but will most likely pick it up again someday.

The classic story that sent Richard Bach soaring to literary fame

In this all-new edition of one of the world's most beloved bestsellers, Richard Bach shares the enchanting tale of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the bird determined to be more than an ordinary gull, determined to find a reason for living-determined to be free. Jonathan's story is for people who make their own rules when they know they're right; people who get a special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves; people who know there's more to this whole living thing than meets the eye.

Read by the author, this is an adventure in flight, an adventure of the spirit, an adventure in freedom and joy-and a voyage of discovery for those who strive to know the meaning of kindness and love.
