You won't be surprised ot hear that I have a bit of a Left Behind fetish. Certainly not enough to buy (or even read) the books, although I did flip through the first half of the first one at the library.
From an article in today's NY Times comes this quotation from the most recent (and supposedly final) apocalyptic installment:
"Men and women soldiers and horses seemed to explode where they stood," Dr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins write. "It was as if the very words of the Lord had superheated their blood, causing it to burst through their veins and skin.'' The authors add, "Even as they struggled, their own flesh dissolved, their eyes melted and their tongues disintegrated."
Now, that shit is tight! I should go read these books. They seem like good, slow sex. After hours and hours of buildups, false starts, sticky pages, finally comes relief! In the form of Our Lord Jesus rending flesh from bone with his fiery microwave words.
I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me.
