99. The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven

Never have I enjoyed a book as much as this. Its a collection of short stories that have the same main character (which is essentially Alexi) and how he as a native american is living in modern america. Some of the greatest story telling and prose poems rolled into one I've ever read. Some of the more interesting things to take into account is alot of the refreences Alexi has to the plot and story line going on in the background. If ever you encounter a person who says they don't like reading, I suggest you give them this book. I can never say enough good things about a book that made the most impactful foot print in my life.

Also, for the music lover in all of us, read the chapter "My Father always said he was the only Indian to see Jimi Hendrix play the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock" (I may have that slightly off. But take into account Hendrix's NA heritage and what that song means to the country at the time, and what America means to Native American)
