From The Simpsons to the 1983 film Mr. Mom, pop culture is rife with examples of bumbling fathers. And while it’s fun to laugh at these fictional send-ups of charming incompetence, in real life, dads consider parenting just as central to their identities as moms.

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.
