Ok, I finally got the book today. Two stores were sold out, but a large bookstore in downtown SF had a copy and reserved it for me. I'm up to chapter 3 now and I finally found out who dies! And I'm so happy that it wasn't Rayford! Seeing as book 1 opened with him, it just seemed right to having him be the last original living member. ;D <wheeeeee! dances cartwheels around> I'm so jazzed! Ok, so he's mortally wounded and I'm only 3 chapters in - nobody spoil the rest for me! - but at least I know that he'll live until Jesus comes back.  I thought for sure that Rayford died and Buck lived; I'm so glad I was wrong. Woohoo! ;D |

I've always said it was Ray who would survive - and he did!  <>< |

Are you sure that even San Francisco's bookshops have sold out their copies? ;D I thought that being a hotbed of political liberalism, social liberalism, and apostate churches will make the city's residents (or indeed, everyone living in the whole Bay Area) regard the whole Left Behind series as "poisons".

No, the best reason for Frisco to consider the series "poisons" would be because any writing ability that Timmy and JJ had was used up in the first three books. The Left Behind series is the Chapelle's Show of literature.

Or novels by John le Carre. YBIC, Joel |

There's still a few faithful Christians and churches here. The whole Bay Area is liberal, with the exception of one county (Contra Costa). I no longer live right in the City, though I wish I did. It hurts to see what it has become, but I was born there and it is the best of all the places I've lived.  |

Hehe, when compared with the politics here (New Zealand), the SF Bay Area isn't that bad (We have some of the hardest left politicians in the whole English-speaking world, an outright atheist and a former political science lecturer/professor as our Prime Minister, and even a "transexual" Member of Parliament). I found that of everywhere in the United States, the Bay Area is more like NZ than America politically. ;D ;D YBIC, Joel |
