the absolute diary of a part time indian

Time magazine called this one of the best children's books of all time so i thought i would try it. We were trying to kill Indian culture.” Read more Your songs and stories and language and dancing. We were supposed to make you give up being Indian. 'Jeez,' she said, Who cares if a man wants to marry another man? All I want to know is who's going to pick up all the dirty socks?'“We Indians really should be better liars, considering how often we've been lied to.”“I didn't literally kill Indians. The world is only broken into two tribes: the people who are assholes and the people who are not.” 'My grandmother had no use for all the gay bashing and homophobia in the world, especially among other Indians.

Favourite Quotes/Passages“I used to think the world was broken down by tribes,' I said. Since I don't have the words, here are some brilliant quotes from the novel - I could have posted at least 50, but I don't want to ruin it for you.

This my friends is now one of my all time favourite books. Tears running down my eyes from laughter - it was so raw and hell it makes sense. The book is worth the price alone for the chapter dealing with books and boners. At times I was crying and laughing at the same time. It is raw and tackles some very difficult subject matter, but it is done with humor and honesty. A perfect novel for all ages and something that needs to be read and taught to our young people (FYI my 15 yr old read it for school and told me all about it) Loved how it didn't talk down to kids or force a moral down your throat but kids will at the same time might start to feel a bit more sympathetic to the Native community. Again one of those times I wish I was more articulate in expressing the right words to explain why you all need to read this.
