    I read all of the Left behind books … Am I Christian? No. Are the books really well written? Also, no. Why did I read them? I guess for the lols

      I read them all back in high school when I was a good, Christian boy. Loved 'em. Read them again within the last couple of years. Even with the faith aspect removed, they’re a fun enough read. Doesn’t take much brain power to get through them

      I read all of them in second grade and was obsessed/traumatized. Now as an adult I’ve realized they’re airplane fiction - mindlessly easy to read, not well written. It’s funny when you realize Buck and Rayford are author self inserts.

      I like to pick them up from thrift stores now and mutilate them for art projects.
