Jonathan livingston seagull

As I'm traveling all alone by train and just before starting for the railway station, I went to office library and picked two books. one of them happened to be "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach. I've not heard about this author earlier. But the thickness of the book made me pick this one. A fable about a seagull which tries to find the reason for life in learning and doing some thing new. Good one. I think one must think beyond the routine thought zone, so things with passion..definitely, we'll find the purpose of our life. Isn't it?
