Just finished #TheFeatherThief by #KirkWallaceJohnson. A work of #nonfiction, it is a tale of obsession told in three parts: from the 19th century harvesters of beautiful birds that fed the Victorian obsession with iridescent feathers, to the modern day fly fishing tiers equally obsessed which drove a remarkable heist, to the amateur fly fisherman turned researcher obsessed with recovering what was stolen. It was weird and fascinating and, frankly, I loved it. @bookstodon #bookstodon
