This post is just to vent that this book should be perfect for today's #mapsinbooks task bc it's called MAPS AND LEGENDS but guess what? IT LITERALLY HAS NO MAPS AND ONLY ONE LEGEND. Michael Chabon, you farce. 😱
At least the binding is pretty and the only legend, the acknowledgements, is pretty creative but yet, #falseadvertising.
I sniff indignantly in your direction, Mr. Chabon. 😤😤

Shortstack That's hilarious! What is it about then? 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack It's some personal essays of his. The essays better be about maps and legends! 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist this reminds me of Trout Fishing in America![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

PNWBookseller85 Lol. He would. 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack Is it about everything except trout fishing in the United States? 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist Side note currently drinking Apothic Dark which now makes me think of you. 🍷 8y
BookishFeminist @BeckyMerilatt Right? Only other person who would pull this is his bestie Dave Eggers, and he's the publisher for it so... Lol 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist pretty much. It's about what America has lost and what it is. It's one of the weirdest books I've read. 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack YES I want some. Hope you're enjoying it! Have a glass for me because I'm out. 😱 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack 😭😭😭 why do authors do this to us 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist I'm guessing because they delight in messing with us? I will definitely have some for you! How have you been by the way? Hope this week is going better for you. I have been so busy I feel out of touch with Litsy lately! 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack You're probably right. Damnit, San Francisco authors, lol. I wish I could report a better week but things have still been a mess for me lately. It can stop anytime. 😒 I feel out of touch with Litsy too! Everyone's been busy, plus Android blew up my feed, lol. How have you been? I hope you're recovering from the flu well!! 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist yeah, just trying to get through finals right now. Although even if I get a zero on everything from here, the worst grade I can get is a mid C. So that takes the pressure off. I hope things go better soon!!! I miss #LitsyAfterDark 8y
PNWBookseller85 Ha! Makes sense. 8y
read_diverse_books This is hilarious! What an odd title for a book that doesn't have any maps or legends 8y
KVanRead Hahaha! I support your righteous indignation. Sniffing, though...won't ever be the same after Monday 😂😂😂 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack Yes! I need #LitsyAfterDark back for my mental sanity. I hope you're done with finals soon! You deserve the relaxation but I know you'll do as well as you can. :) thankfully you've done well so far so that should take some pressure off 8y
BookishFeminist @read_diverse_books Right? It's a very hipster thing to do 8y
BookishFeminist @KVanRead 😂😂 God, you're right! It was the microphone, Kristine. It was the microphone. #microphonegate 8y
KVanRead @BookishFeminist 😂 8y
BooksRockMyWorld Haha 😂 8y
