My favorite book, all-time!
Love this book - love it, love it, LOVE IT!! The wit is amazing, the wisdom profoundly simple, and the characters perfectly drawn. I have read many times already and will continue to re-read for years to come!
È arrivato il momento di parlare di Richard Bach. L'autore non mi è nuovo infatti lessi fin dalle elementari Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston. Poi un mio collega mi prestò, ormai un annetto fa, questo suo romanzo che gli era particolarmente piaciuto. Inutile dire che come il precedente suo scritto anche questo si è scavato un posto nel mio cuore. Credo che a breve rileggerò anche Il gabbiano JL perché credo che un po' come il piccolo principe ogni tanto un reminder serve.

I remember reading this when I was 11 or 12 and being half-convinced I could really fly if I just concentrated hard enough.

Super natural stuffs and spiritual nihilism makes this book as a page turner, but end of the day it’s just a fiction.
Book 11/50.
This book was actually pretty witty. I thought it would be preachy, gospel-esque. But I was surprised to find a lack of religion altogether. (Although I think I did see a lot of Jesus, which unfortunately draws me away.) Overall, it was funny as hell at certain parts, and wise in others. I'm sure the Buddha would have dug it.
"30. "And what would you do," the Master said unto the multitude, "if God spoke directly to your face and said, 'I COMMAND THAT YOU BE HAPPY IN THE WORLD, AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.' What would you do then?"
31. And the multitude was silent, not a voice, not a sound was heard upon the hillsides, across the valleys where they stood.
32. And the Master said unto the silence, "In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime. So it is that I have learned this day, and choose to leave you now to walk your own path as you please." (pp. 23-25)
"You teach best what you most need to learn." (p. 60)
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof." (p. 84)
"He didn't say a word. I had explained the panorama of life to him, and my messiah, as though he had heard all he needed in that one chance word about his happiness, had fallen fast asleep." (p. 97)
"If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats." (p. 135)
