- Gordon Lish’s Mourner at the Door and My Romance and Krupp’s Lulu
- Helene Cixous’s Coming to Writing and Other Essays
- Ken Sparling’s Dad says he saw you at the mall
- Peter Handke’s The Weight of the World
- DFW’s Infinite Jest
- Bernadette Mayer’s Midwinter Day
- Mark Halliday’s Tasker Street
- Aimee Parkison’s Woman with Dark Horses
- Nina Shope’s Hangings: Three Novellas
- Sara Greenslit’s The Blue of Her Body
- Zachary Mason’s The Lost Books of the Odyssey
- Janet Mitchell’s The Creepy Girl and Other Stories
- Jacques Roubaud’s Some Thing Black
- Gary Young’s No Other Life
- Marilyn Hacker’s Love, Death, and the Changing of the Seasons
- Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee
- Michael Hardt’s and Antonio Negri’s Empire
- Frank Stanford’s The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You
I don’t know what I’d do without the ILLiad. What books are on your to-read-but-don’t-have-yet list?
