Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. His reply:
I just finished The Stars Are Fire by Anita Shreve, which I enjoyed. The plot is deceptively simple, and the main character is so sympathetic I found myself rooting for her more fiercely with everyVisit Stephen Kiernan's website.page. I also just read Celine by Peter Heller, which has his strongest characters yet, and the story possesses a wonderful spooky charm. Chris Bohjalian's The Sleepwalker had his characteristic excellent hook and the ending was a total surprise.
I've also been reading deeply in the subject of my next novel, but I don't want to talk about those books until I have a clearer plot in mind.
