I just finished reading The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie. It took me a little while to get into the book, but once I got a feel for the cadence, this collection of interrelated short stories definitely engaged me. I highly recommend it.
There's a great dialog in the book between one character, a Spokane Indian and die-hard Hendrix fan who believes he was the only Indian to hear Jimi Hendrix play the Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock, and his wife. The Hendrix fan lamented Jimi's passing:

I also highly recommend the Alexie book. It was also the basis for a more-than-adequate film adaptation that played for a while in art houses, called "Smoke Signals." It's a very powerful set of interrelated stories, one of those rare books that stirs the writing juices in me.
