Jonathn Livingston Seagull is an eternal classic book from Richard Bach. The author - Richard Bach has written many popular books but this book is my personal favourite.
A great self-help book tells the story of a bird(seagull) determined to make life extraordinary. Jonathan is a metaphor for learners amongst men - who are determined to work hard and succeed. they face lots of difficulties in life but hard work ultimately leads to a successful and well-lived life.
Personally I think that it is a book every youngster should read. A positive fact is that story and book is not very long - so does not take much time to read.
