Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

This was a pretty good book. It's about a seagull with a passion, or a vision of something beyond his current reality. He strives for this vision, much to the dismay of the other seagulls and in the end he achieves what he's looking for, which I guess would be enlightenment. This is a quote that pretty much sums up the book for me

"iInstead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there's reason to live! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can learn to be free! We can learn to fly!"
 
The moral is about having a dream and making that dream happen. The process is not without its difficulties but essentially the end goal makes the whole process worth it. ... In a nutshell. Not the most groundbreaking read, but worth the trek if you're in the mood.
