Kentucky Wife Swap daddy Michael Adams runs a tight ship.

He stresses hard work and education to his 14-year-old daughter Michaela. He makes her recite Shakespeare 30 minutes a day.

In fact, Michael rates the Bard—who is "at the top of his game"—as "the most important writer of my time." No doubt he can hardly wait until the new Cervantes poem comes out, not to mention Sir Walter Raleigh's riveting take on his explorations in the New World due to hit the stands in late 1584.
