... enjoyed the other book, I can't seem to gather the enthusiasm to tackle this one. However, I am very interested in Chabon's Maps and Legends, and hope to pick up a copy soon. I agree with you on Maps and Legends. I guess that happens sometimes when I buy a book because I like the cover. ... Lee Masters
Not as interesting as I had hoped it would be, and a lot more confusing - but ultimately worth it.
24. Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon
I have to admit that in this one I got a little lost in some of the essays since I had no idea what he was talking about (the ones ... I really enjoyed Maps and Legends, although it doesn't really focus on writing, more like storytelling as a whole and themes and genre, etc... ... by Roland Barthes, Paris Spleen by Charles Baudelaire (though SOME of those stories are almost certainly fictional), Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon, Signposts in a Strange Land by Walker Percy.
Barnes and Noble usually has a small section for "Essays," where you can find a lot ... #4: Maps and Legends* by Michael Chabon
One of my favorite authors, although somehow I missed Yiddish Policemen Unite!; essays and an autobigraphical gollem story, interesting and feels genuinely personal (he has made me reach for the dictionary quite often for his last two books!)...
* ... I just finished Maps and Legends, essays and shorts, very much enjoyed by this Chabon fan... and started The Raw Shark Text Diary (or something like that) -- verrrrry strrrraaaaaange so far...
and its too beautiful a day out there to waste it studying, so I think I'll twist the boys' arms ... Anti-Nudge: Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon
I admit I am not a huge fan of his writing, but this was even more uninteresting to me. However the book cover is really cool. ... by Diana Athill

Arthur Rimbaud ... 22. Alien Pets, edited by Denise Little
23. Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon
Alien Pets was entertaining but none of the stories really stuck out enough that I remember them, just a few weeks later.
I really enjoyed Maps and Legends. Maybe it's kind of nerdy, but I find it kind ... I must admit- I do look twice at a nice cover- I have in my TBR pile Michael Chabon's book of non-fiction, Maps and Legends- it has a spectacular cover-actually three. But I do know that nice illustrations do not guarantee a good book- I really hated Landscape with Tea by Milorad Pavic ... ... in the World, All the King's Men (one of the best I've ever read, by the way, Timebends, The Misfits, Hard News, Maps and Legends, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, In the Beauty of the Lilies, Sense and Sensibility, Emma ... I don't know, maybe I'm confused with some I ... I'm reading Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon which is a collection of essays. ... I like the idea and I like pretty books.
The Yiddish Policeman's Union was quite good, by the way. I was looking at Maps and Legends the other day and debating picking it up. Sounds promising- golem are so fascinating! Once I'm done with The God Delusion I hope to pick up Letters to ... ... it up, but it's an interesting little read for those who are interested in what an influential atheist has to say.
37: Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon
I'm a little embarrassed to say I actually judged this book by its cover--I was at Borders, and it looked so pretty on the new non- ... Just finished (at 4 am! Do as I say, not as I do!) Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon. It's a collection of essays, and suffers from the usual problem of collections -- some blew me away, and others felt like mostly filler. But the good parts were enough to keep me up late.
