A great book she read recently was
Trail of Feathers: In Search of the Birdmen of Peru,
by British/Afghan author,
Tahir Shah. It's a story about how he went to the Amazon to learn about an ancient people who had discovered the secret of flight. She said it was a gnarly, gnarly trip--there's descriptions of him living on a rotting boat eating rats and canned tuna cooked in hot oil and how, before he arrived, people had warned him these people were head hunters, but they'd actually turned Christian and went on shamanistic journeys using hallucinogenic herbs to find Christ.

Those birdmen/headhunter guys sound waaaay more interesting than the wright brothers. I wonder why they don't get more press.
