"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" - turned out to be one of the best books I ever read. I could instantly connect with Jonathan in his quest for life. The author, Richard Bach is a life-long pilot and his narrative on flying is very detail oriented. As a first generation immigrant, I could understand Jonathan's frustrations and his refusal to be socially acceptable self in the old world. Jonathan's self exploratory nature and his journey of life through the different stages is a lesson for every one. The book is a master piece. Recently I came to know about the movie of the book that surprisingly did justice to the content with extraordinary effort on cinematography. But personally, I prefer the book that enabled me to visualize the seagull's life in my own imagination.
Richard Bach, 76 got into an accident yesterday - a plane crash. My heart goes out to the author who has touched so many lives through his work.Wish him a speedy recovery.

There was a time way back in the nineties when I was an avid fan of Bach and read all his book one after the other. Illussions and Jonathan livingston seagull being my favourites.
