This book is a time capsule. It's literally about a seagull named Jonathan Livingston Seagull, but it's very fake-deep in that swinging '70s, pre-AIDS kind of way. Like some dude would give you this book and tell you to read it because it "changed his life" and that was supposed to seduce you because he was so inspired. Was Jonathan Livingston Seagull supposed to be Jesus? Is this all just an acid trip? How did a book that's 96 pages (25 of which are black and white photos of seagulls) get published and become a bestseller? I'm going to stop with the questions now before my review gets longer than the actual book. (Although this would be a great book club choice because it's such a fast read and everyone would be so weirded out by it that they'd have something to say.)
