That's one of the reasons why a growing number of fathers are opting to be stay-at-home dads.

Derek Walcott, the Nobel Prize-winning poet, once said, “I read; I travel; I become.” No doubt Walcott would have appreciated an opportunity to combine reading and travel in a way that highlights books. It’s what inspired author Richard Kreitner to write his new book, appropriately titled “Booked: A Traveler’s Guide to Literary Locations Around the World.”

Guest:

Richard Kreitner - Contributing writer for The Nation and author of "Booked."
