What is Kris reading now?

I took the following from the author's website:


Alan Christofferson is a successful Seattle advertising executive who seems to have it all: a beautiful home, a sky-rocketing career, and an idyllic marriage to his childhood sweetheart, McKale. However, unbeknownst to him, on the day that Alan successfully pitches a three million dollar advertising campaign to a key account, events are already unfolding that will soon take from him everything he holds dear.
Within a few short weeks, Alan Christofferson loses everything: his company, his fortune, and even the woman he loves. Betrayed by his business partner, Kyle, stripped of most of his material possessions and all of his emotional connections, Alan is left adrift in a world that has suddenly grown cold and meaningless. At first he considers taking his own life; instead, equipped with little more than the clothes on his back and his diary, he sets off on a walk across America, from Seattle to Florida. THE WALK covers the first 12 days of Alan’s journey, which will take him over 250 miles, from Bellevue, WA to Spokane, WA. As he journeys across the country, Alan will learn how to move beyond despair toward a profoundly new understanding of life, helped along the way by the unexpected kindness of strangers.
Masterfully written and emotionally resonant, THE WALK is destined to become an instant classic. As always, Evans’ intimate grasp of human motivation and frailty lends an impressive authenticity to his writing. A tightly crafted and character-driven work of art, THE WALK shows Richard Paul Evans at his finest, his most inspirational and his most moving. Newcomers and existing fans alike will thrill to the story of Alan Christofferson’s spiritual journey, and will be eagerly awaiting the next installments.
