BED LIST: TYSON BECKFORD

Sometimes, words just aren’t adequate.

DINNER LIST: CARL HIAASEN

Any author who’ll take on tourists (Tourist Season), developers (Hoot, for younger readers), sugar growers (Strip Tease), pro bass fishermen (Double Whammy), weathercasters (Stormy Weather), Mickey Mouse (Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World), and the Florida Lottery (Lucky You) is aces in my book. When the author does it with the same humor and complete lack of respect for the “establishment” that Carol Hiaasen does, well, that’s someone I’d be more than happy to blow cash on for dinner.
