[BookReview] Flight of the Phoenix

How the minds of men work esp. in bad situations, is the theme of this book. People who look really strong may not be so strong in adverse conditions...
This book reminds of that Hyundai Ad : "Because we dream.... Because we do"

Actually if you think about it the main reason for the emergence of man above the other animals could very well be a message of this story...
How man beat the seemingly unsurmountable odds, given his weaknesses, his lack of strength and powerful enemies...
Then again... Maybe not.

A plane carrying a monkey, a group of oil workers, british soldiers and an inventor crashes in the Sahara!!

How they handle the situation, fight it and nearly lose their lives is what the book is about.

[BookReview] Jonathan Livingston Seagull

An amazing book by Richard Bach that talks about potential and the journey of fulfilling it.

A surprisingly thin booklet, it is hardly 30 pages filled with great thoughts on motivation, potential, hunger for going beyond whatever stage you are at and finally sharing.

It talks about a "Perverted" Seagull ie who believes that there's more to life than eating , sleeping and squabbling over scraps. A seagull was given wings not just to fly from point A to B and back but something more. It talks about finding and fighting for purpose in life and integrating the seeking for something more into the way you live and share with people.
