Lovers of flowery nonfiction need to get a copy of Kim MacQuarrie's "The Last Days of the Incas." MacQuarrie tells the story of the Inca empire's demise with incredible cinematic detail, planting readers so firmly in the story that they forget all of the book's events happened 500 years ago. Reading this book while working on Inca ruins in the Andean cloudforest was one of the most riveting reading experiences I have ever had. You'll be genuinely disappointed when the story ends -- but then again, visiting any of the sites in which the story is staged will only make you want to pick it up and read it all over again.
