Gulliver's Travels describes the four fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a kindly ship's surgeon. Swift portrays him as an observer, a reporter, and a victim of circumstance. His travels take him to Lilliput where he is a giant observing tiny people. In Brobdingnag, the tables are reversed and he is the tiny person in a land of giants where he is exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. The flying island of Laputa is the scene of his next voyage. The people plan and plot as their country lies in ruins. It is a world of illusion and distorted values. The fourth and final voyage takes him to the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses who rule the land. He also encounters Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who resemble humans.

09.2019: I'm currently not getting around to reading this and my bookshelves are way too full. So this one may travel to be found by others.

Dear finder,

Congratulations, you found a wild book; this book is travelling the world looking for new readers. When you are done reading this book, you can release it again, you can give it to someone you think might like this particular book, or when you really like it, you can put it in your own bookshelf, until you think it is time for the book to travel on.

It would be great if you let me know that you found this book (you can do that anonymously), how you liked it and what you did with it after you read it.

Have fun reading!

Like Moby Dick, this book was on my "I should probably read that one day" list. Unfortunately I struggled to find it interesting, for exactly the same reason as I had with Moby Dick. The main character is a completely self absorbed arrogant prick. I gave up after 1/3 of the book. Guess old English books just arn't my thing, with maybe the exception of "The picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.
Hopefully the next reader will enjoy it more.
