I'd probably have to scan the shelves to shock myself into remembering but what leaps to mind right now is Seven Ages of Paris (forgot the author) for a nice overall history of Paris...remember it as well-written and flows well,
Robin Robertson's Swithering for poetry,
and probably re-reading Bruno Schulz's Street of Crocodiles, a short story collection by a Polish-Jewish writer who died during the war. Even in translation, the prose comes across very strongly and very uniquely, even simple stuff like describing the sunlight on the street, etc.
I'm sure there's more but that's what occurs to me at the mo'.
