Otis Young kicks back with Steven Gaines' "Fool's Paradise: Players, Poseurs, and the Culture of Excess in South Beach," which takes readers on a tour of the decadent lifestyles and (in)famous people making up the Florida city. Charles Stephen ponders "The Book of Dead Philosophers" by Simon Critchley, an exploration of the deaths of 200 philosophers and what those experiences can tell us about a life well-lived. Stephen also covers "Enchanted Hunters: The Power of Stories in Childhood" by Maria Tatar, a fresh look at why imagination and literature are so important to growing minds.
