The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

So, I'm at my mom's house right now and I'm a little bored so I started cruising her bookshelves. I totally adore this book. I first read it in 1994 as a Freshman in High School. It's how I fell in love with Sherman Alexie (he spoke at my graduation last year at the University of Washington and was FABULOUS!!). So, yeah, I'm going to start re-reading it right now...and I wanted to make sure it had a place on my bookshelf.
It's such a lyrical story, the vignettes are lovely, very poignant.

I love Thomas Builds-The-Fire so MUCH!! It makes me so sad the way in which he is received by most people in this book. His stories are so precious and important, I want to blast them over loud speakers!!
So glad I re-read this. Such a beautiful string of intertwined vignettes, even when discussing UN-beautiful things, Alexie's poetic words caress my tongue and brain. Ahhhhh....Good Stuff. Very Powerful. Everyone should read this, at least once.
