There is a lovely warmness about feelings of nostalgia as though in one's head one is putting on a pair of comfy old slippers and curling up in front of a fire.

“Book Banter” Review: Good Talk, Dad by Bill Geist and Willie Geist

By Stuart Nulman Good Talk, Dad by Bill Geist and Willie Geist (Grand Central Publishing, $30)

For an ideal “like-father-like-son” read this Father’s Day, you can’t beat Good Talk, Dad.

The book is a collaborative father-and-son effort by Bill Geist, the award-winning New York Times columnist, author and regular contributor for the CBS News “Sunday Morning” program, and his son Willie, who is one…

Books for Dad this Father’s Day

In the spirit of Father’s Day this weekend, here’s a look at some books that deal with the many facets of fatherhood. We recommend these not only as gifts any dad would enjoy for Father’s Day, but also just as good reads for dads anytime!

“Good Talk, Dad: The Birds and the Bees… And Other Conversations We Forgot to Have”

This book, by CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Bill Geist and his son, Today…

5 Things We Learned About Bill & Willie Geist Last Night Beloved newsmen Bill & Willie Geist have teamed up for a father-son chronicle of their relationship, Good Talk, Dad: The Birds and the Bees… and Other Conversations We Forgot to Have. After Bill (CBS Sunday Morning) went public with his struggle with Parkinson’s Disease, Willie (NBC’s Today Show, Morning Joe) suggested they document their unique bond for their family’s future generations. The guys charmed the 92Y crowd on May 27 with their heartwarming and zany stories of growing up Geist. Here are 5 things we learned.

Bill waited 10 years to tell his children he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Willie’s rock ‘n’ roll-loving Uncle Herb got him high on prescription drugs on the way to a Rolling Stones concert in Atlantic City. The high cushioned the blow of finding out the show was cancelled once they arrived.

Bill never talked extensively about his service in Vietnam until it was time to write the book. When Willie read the chapter, he said it was a side of his dad he never knew before.

Willie literally takes his young son to a police station when he misbehaves. The officers at New York’s 20th Precinct like to play along and intimidate him with jail time.
