Anyone read the Left Behind series?
I've had the series of 1-10 for awhile, but just now started to re-read a few of them and then finish the series.
Then I discovered there are more to the series, so I ordered 11-16.
I've got lots of reading to do!! :francis:

Are you talking about the teenage series? I never did read all of those. I read all the regular Left Behind books. The problem was waiting for another one to come out so I could continue on.

No - I haven't read any of the teenage Left Behind books.
I'm talking about the regular books. There's a total of 16 books in that series - some of them are the "prequel" that tells the story of Rayford's and Carpathia's pre-Rapture life.
I think that's why I never finished them, too! I kept waiting for the next book to come out and either lost interest or forgot to get them.
So I started at #1 and have been reading them in order. Good thing my order came today cuz I just finished the last book that I had in the series. :basic44:

Phew - I finally finished the series last night.
If you haven't read the Left Behind series and you're interested, the BEST way to read them would be....
#1-3 Prequel
#1-12 Series
#13 Sequel
The prequels talk about the main characters in the 1-12 series - you get the background on them.
GOOD books.

I have read books 1-11. I am finishing 11 now. I have 12 & 13 ordered.
Would I enjoy 1-3 after finishing this series. These books are so good and well written.

If you've finished 11, then you should go ahead and read 12 & 13.
Then you can go back and read the 1-3 prequels.
You will enjoy 1-3, tho. Soooooo interesting to read about how Carpathia was born and raised!! It was interesting to read about Rayford's marriage and how he met Irene. All the major players are in the prequels.

Oh yes I will read 12 & 13 first. Can't miss the best part. I never thought of Carpathia being in the prequels. That should be interesting. So this will keep me busy for awhile. Thanks

Oooh Oooh - you'll love the prequels about Carpathia!! You know his "Aunt Viv" that's in the books you're reading now? You'll learn all about her, too!!
:INhouseReading04: Lucky you!!
