I found this book years ago from a @bfeld blog post: http://www.feld.com/archives/201... Since then, I've read it 5-6 times and it's become one of my favorite books. The premise sounds strange -- a seagull who gets exiled from his flock for having ambitions beyond eating -- but it's a perfect metaphor for entrepreneurship and life in general. It's a short book that you can finish in an hour, but will leave a lasting impact. "For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight."

@msarlitt this has totally captured my imagination! Love that it's a short read too, it's so tough to find the time to read everything you want to. Thanks for posting, will definitely be adding to my reading list!
