Fetishizing the end times, reading and America:
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_346.shtml

Basically, someone who was raised as a fundamentalist Christian talks about what the Left Behind books' sales numbers mean in an America that hates books.

This is not a friendly article, and while cogently argued and making pains not to attack Christianity but a very particular violent and death-obsessed streak in parts of American Christianity, it may well raise your hackles.
