This book has been sitting on my shelf for 3 years now and finally I'm getting to reading it. 🛩
pickBefore the soul-deadening efficiency of 21st-century air travel there was the glamor and luxury of the 1950s. Go back just a little further, though, to the earliest days of aviation, and every flight carried with it a sense of wonder and the very real possibility of death. Written about ADSE's time delivering mail for Aeropostale in the 1930s, this book is equal parts travelogue and philosophical treatise on what constitutes a meaningful life.
Starting a new one tonight. The Little Prince is one of my all time favourites so I'm interested to read this.
bailedThe language is if course lyrical and beautiful, but because I was expecting a travel adventure and not musings on life and the art of flying it fell flat for me. I will try again in a few months now that I know what to expect and read this as a slow introspective memoir rather than an air travel adventure
#inkhearts 11, a poem
Not exactly a poem, but the memoir of a poet.😻

The first book on my shelves that I thought of for #wind. #noteworthyNovember @Jess7
Some of my favourite #memorablememoirs 👆
Wind, Sand and Stars is a short but moving book of reminiscences by the author of The Little Prince. It's philosophical but never preachy or sappy. A universal book ✨

pick"Truth is the language that expresses universality."
It's labeled as an adventure book, and there is absolutely adventure, but a lot of his writing about flight seems to be almost an excuse to philosophize which is what makes it especially interesting -- at least to me. Glad I finally took the time to read this. He's so much more than The Little Prince.

pickLittle Prince author muses on his days as a pilot. The philosophy of flight and loneliness. Gorgeous prose.
It has been my experience that people read the Little Prince and stop there, but Saint-Exupery was so much more; a pilot, explorer, philosopher, writer who lived an adventurous life and died bravely fighting for his country.
