Left Behind

I read this when I was far too young to grasp pretty much any of the references. That's alright though, because it leaves for the now humorous memory that I was sad for all the people who winked out of existence. How awful to just be gone and be... where? Seemingly nowhere. Made me anxious to imagine if that could happen to me. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that since I'm a heathen. Anyway, I remember rooting for all who were left to scrape together and rebuild since that's just what we do as a species.
Obviously I was reading this as any other post-apocalyptic novel and didn't have the wherewithal to recognize or be put off by the writing. I think I made it through a few of these books actually.
