Left Behind

I'm feeling very "Left Behind". Apparently there is this whole series of novels out - the Left Behind series. About the coming of Christ or something similar. It's not like it's a new novel that I've never heard of - there are several in a series! Which means they've been out for a few years. I first read something cryptic about them on the Bookslut blog, but I didn't worry. She writes about a lot of stuff I've never heard. Then I actually saw a whole stack of the latest hard cover from this series in the Aafes Bookstore last night.

I told my father a couple of weeks ago that sometimes I feel like I've been out of the US for ten years instead of two. This is one of those instances. Sigh. Not that I WANT to know about these books, or even read them (I'm not into that whole Rapture thing), but it's just another instance of how out of touch I feel sometimes.
