Such a beautiful book, just as poignant as it was when I first read it a decade ago.
I think this is the first time I have ever rated a book with 5 stars in my life and truly meant it. Some books just come into your life to change it. I heard so much about this book and I was practically praying that I wouldn't be disappointed, and God, thank you.
How do you come up with words that can pierce another's heart completely? How do you put so much meaning into a bunch of syllables and make it look like an ordinary paperback?
I didn't know what I needed until I picked up this book. And all the reviews saying this book changed their life, through blurred tears, I say same.

Martı Jonathan Livingston'dan sonra bir hayalkırıklığı oldu...

Recommended to me by Thomas, an american I met in Prague and again in Berlin. A very interesting read. The edition I read was full of typos, but might just have been a specific issue. I love reading stuff people recommend, because it gives such an insight into their minds. This is a very american tale in a modern sense, the sentiment of ”you don’t owe anyone anything and life is what you make of it” has undertones of the traditional American Dream, but this book outwardly speaks against the traditional american lifestyle. I don’t necessarily agree with the moral lesson or the lack of it, but I did enjoy the prose and trying to understand a worldview so foreign to me.

An interesting review to write about a book with an interesting concept.
Since I became a voracious reader, I came to the realization that the wisdom and profound moments that I discover are in the more peculiar and quaint novels with hidden messages, as opposed to the hard, scientific non-fiction books about life and happiness. This book was earmarked to be just that, but it didn't quite slap like I'd hoped.
The book itself was really easy to read and was relatively small. It was most curious how Bach made himself the protagonist. The message of our world is what we make it based on our perceptions and that our own reality is formed through our own thoughts and beliefs didn't resonate with me all that much... it felt like a bit of a stretch.
I don't dislike this book at all, it just wasn't as enlightening as was advertised.

I feel the need to immediately re-read, then discuss this book with someone - an exceedingly rare occurrence.
