I love Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. One of my favorite books ever. Released the same year I was born, when I was younger I felt that Bach wrote that book specifically for me. I've read it hundreds of times in the last 45ish years. I've given copies to each of my children, although they don't have the same feelings about the book as I did at 7-8 years old reading it for the first time by myself. That book started the foundation that I would build my life upon. I still have the original copy I was given, although it is not the copy I currently read.

Richard Bach also wrote Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah and as a young man, starting out in my career my very first professional mentor gave me a copy of this book and it changed the way that I viewed the world. I've only read this book dozens of times in the past 30 years, but it is still one of my favorites.

I think it's time for me to give each of these books another read.
