I am curious to find so many believing people who read Stephen King. So to assuage my curiosity, can those who read him tell me 'why?' Although I haven't read anything by him in the past couple of years, I read him because he writes engaging, exciting fiction. Emphasis on the last word of the previous sentence.
Edited to add: Any further discussion of Stephen King would take this thread way off topic. Trish has started a thread titled "I Just Don't Understand" that would be a more appropriate place to continue.

just finished the beauty of God: theology and the arts by trier, husbands and lundin. oddly enough, i found that the essays on music were the most interesting and applicable to my thinking about the role of beauty in the [visual] arts. and lots of following up to do (darn those footnotes!)...

Finished a reread of Jurassic Park and a first read of Clan of the Cave Bear. I needed some downtime reading since I started my Master's degree and I can't read tech articles all the time.
Re-started The Shaman's Coat: a native history of Siberia.

current and primary books:
beyond wilderness: the group of seven, canadian identity and contemporary art. working towards a grant proposal for an exhibition and publication - there will be several essays - one mine - about the idea of the landscape, stewardship and the notion of the sublime. feel free to make suggestions for further research.
the cutting edge of reading: artists' books. since i work with books as a primary art material (whether materially of conceptually), i'm always refreshing my understanding about artistic explorations of the book. also considering going for a masters (fine arts or art history or english)-- something multi-/trans-/inter-disciplinary, covering art and theology and various other conceptual conceits. po-mo narrative, anyone? phenomenology? semiotics?
the creators: a history of heroes of the imagination. a history of creativity and innovation covering 3000 years and religion, science and the arts.
