Then re-reading it in my 30s after leaving the Catholic church and recently returning, the religious undertones popped out. This is probably why Seagull is on every college reading list and rightfully so. I very much wanted to have the tenacity to dig deep into a passion everyone else thought was useless and prove them all wrong. When I first read in college, it seemed like a weird fantasy story about a bird. It just gets more useful and I understand it better. The photography included in this edition really adds to the beauty and contemplation of the story: it is worth buying the printed book for the pictures alone. First time reading the Complete Edition (including rediscovered Part Four). Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
