Can't get past The Part About Amalfitano in Bolanos' 2666 because, I guess, there's a part about Amalfitano that I don't understand; Sun, Stone, and Shadows (20 Great Mexican Short Stories) are, contrary to the title, about lousy stories; Dave Eggers' 2009 The Best American Nonrequired Reading, from the one story I read, tells me why reading it is not a requirement; and, David Wroblewski's The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is shamelessly cheesy that will not admit, not even here, that I read its first 20 pages. But all is not lost. Aleksandar Hemon's Love and Obstacles is a must read, and Orhan Pamuk's Museum of Innocence should be a mass read. BTW, it's so apt that your best ending is from something called No Tomorrow. I read a lot of books in 2009 but finished a few.
