101. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures by Anne Fadiman.
102. Brown Harvest by Jay Russell.
103. Dab Neeg Hmoob: Myths, Legends and Folk Tales from the Hmong of Laos, Charles Johnson, editor and Se Yang, associate editor.
104. Summer of '49 by David Halberstam.
105. The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter.
106. Black Betty by Walter Mosley.
107. She Captains: Heroines and Hellions of the Sea by Joan Druett.
108. Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars by Daniel Pinkwater. Daniel Pinkwater started publishing the year I was born, but I never read him until a few years back, when my then-roommate Marianne pushed Lizard Music on me. Lizard Music was funny and had a weirdly spontaneous feel to it, as if Pinkwater were making it all up as he went along--but more so. Alan Mendelsohn has that same quality, as well as taking the point of view that grownups are just kids who have learned to pretend that the world makes sense. That the ones who are closest to knowing what is really going on turn out to be crackpot middle-aged bachelors is typical of Pinkwater's worldview. Weird and good in equal measure.
