The only ones I've read are the McKillip and Ellis entries. Really enjoyed the first (though the only thing that really makes it stand out any more than her other works is that there was a bit of a political message), couldn't get into the second.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

I've read Vellum, Polyphony 5, and Kelly Link's story "Magic for Beginners", and enjoyed all of them a lot.
I've heard a lot of good things about others on the list, though, and on my to read pile/wishlist I already had Murakami, Link and Kiernan, and I was considering Joyce, even before I knew they were nominated for awards.
