Fascinating book, definitely a classic. This book uses a seagull to tell us a story about the meaning of life. Jonathan Livingston seagull's efforts to reach perfection in his flying give his life purpose beyond just eating and fighting to exist.

A story about an unusual seagull who dares to be different and strives to push himself further. He doesn'n know limitations. In truth, makes you reflect on who you are and on your life. Wonderfully written and awesome photographs for seagulls (Jonathan Livingston Seagull I presume).
