A Sea Of Red

So the last "Left Behind" book was released today. Personally, I think they jumped the shark after book seven (after the Anti-Christ got resurrected, it went downhill from there), and the theology was suspect, and it was kind of a skinny read (I'm not much of a reader, but I read one of them in one sitting), and by the last few books I said to myself "I've committed this far, why not go all the way" to the point where I just gave up when they released the prequels, and they tried to capitalize off their fame by releasing a bad & buggy video game... but still. The "Left Behind" novels were huge sellers. And now, that era is coming to a close:

NEW YORK — The books are ready for shipment, fans are waiting breathlessly for the final installment, and tables in bookstores across America will soon be piled high with stacks of the newly published thriller. But we're talking heaven, not Hogwarts.

This week, "Kingdom Come," the 16th and last novel in the hugely successful "Left Behind" evangelical series, will be released, and the publication marks the culmination of a sea change in the American book world. Before the first installment in Tim LaHaye's and Jerry B. Jenkins' modern-day stories based on the Book of Revelation appeared in 1995, Christian fiction was typically tucked away in Christian bookstores. Now, 43 million books later, the Left Behind titles have paved the way for these books and others like them to be sold in chain outlets, discount stores and big box retailers.

I read the first seven. I didn't see the point after that.

Whether it jumped the shark or not, I love the rec center and ice rink.
