What type of books do you like to read, and which authors do you think have influenced you the most?
Justin Cronin
My tastes are pretty eclectic. I read a great deal of literary fiction, especially when I’m writing. When I’m feeling depleted, I often reach for a writer who makes fantastic sentences; during the writing of The City of Mirrors, I reread virtually everything Ian McEwan ever wrote. When I read a writer like that, I come back feeling refreshed and ready to write. But I’m also reading THE EXPANSE series, a good old fashioned space epic. My son and I saw the TV show and loved it (he’s 13) and decided to read the books together.
