The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace JohnsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Who know that this book would be so interesting? A young American flautist breaks into a museum in England and steals a bag full of dead birds so that he can sell the feathers. Feather trafficking? These guys who build Victorian flies for fishing are crazy! I had no idea that they wanted all these endangered birds' feathers. Crazy stuff and somehow the book sucked me in.
