Welcome to 2023! On Mondays this year, let’s discuss and have fun with books. No I’m not writing book reviews. But this website is for writers, and writers like books right? So let’s have FUN with books!
Week #33 – Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, 1970
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, is an allegorical fable in novella form, about a seagull who learns about flying, freedom, and self-realization. By the end of 1972 it had sold over a million copies, reaching the number one spot on bestseller lists mostly through word of mouth recommendations. In 2014 the book was reissued as Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition, which added a 17-page fourth part to the story.
Seagulls are actually just “gulls”, and there are several varieties

They can live for 20 years or more, generally mate for life, have 2-3 eggs each May, and are VERY aggressive when protecting their young [dive bombings are common]. They can drink both salt water and fresh water.
