How to use this guide:
By clicking on the book title you will be taken to the exact version/translation of the book Wallace used/ read on Amazon.
This guide is split into three sections.
The first section is David Foster Wallace’s favorite books on writing. Including the books Wallace wrote with always by his side.
The second section is David Foster Wallace’s favorite books. These have all been mentioned by him in interviews, essays, or books. I’ve placed stars by my favorites in this section.
The third section is all the books that were in David Foster Wallace’s library.
David Foster Wallace’s Writing Companions
David Foster Wallace recommended every writer have three things always handy. A usage dictionary, thesaurus, and a normal dictionary. Below are the three Wallace used for his writing (he also contributed to all these books.)
1. ### [Garner’s Modern American Usage](https://amzn.to/3x1tXc8) (make sure to get third edition linked here)
Most writers do not own a usage dictionary. But, David Foster Wallace said that
“I urge my students to get a usage dictionary… To recognize that you need a usage dictionary, you have to be paying a level of attention to your own writing that very few people are doing… A usage dictionary is [like] a linguistic hard drive… For me the big trio is a big dictionary, a usage dictionary, a thesaurus — only because I cannot retain and move nimbly around in enough of the language not to need these extra sources. As a teacher, about 90% of my job is getting the students to understand why they might need one.”
The third edition I linked has crucial essays you should read in the front and contributions from Wallace that the other editions don’t have.
How I Use a Usage Dictionary
If you’ve never used a usage dictionary before I would start with using it as a bathroom book. Start flipping through it and using the reference guide at the front to look at major sections like buried verbs, the passive voice, and adverbs. Once you get a feel for the what the book is I would encourage you to read it head on. Focus on reading 90% of the book (skipping sections that seem archaic to you) and finish by any means necessary. Finishing the book opens you up to the vast landscape of usage and embeds your unconscious with the various entries. As you’re writing/revising you’ll come across various triggers that you know Garner mentioned in your first reading. This will snowball and before you know it you’ll have most of the book memorized!
2. # [Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus (3rd Edition)](https://amzn.to/4cwGTa8)
This edition has a ton of fun contributions by Wallace! I recommend staying away from online Thesaurus’s as they kill productivity by roping you into online browsing. If you’re writing on a computer you should have your internet/browser locked down!
3. # The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th Ed)
This is the dictionary Wallace used and helped create. Wallace picked this over other more popular dictionaries because of the prescriptivist philosophy (make sure to read the language war essay in the usage dictionary to understand this) the authors/book stand by. Wallace also sat on the “Usage Panel” for the dictionary which is a group of 200 + scholars, writers, journalists and others who are surveyed on their opinion of certain usages and grammar.
David Foster Wallace’s Favorite Books on Writing
This section will explore Wallace’s books on writing he’s mentioned or had on his bookshelf. I will rank them from most important to least important for writers in the modern era. Most of these books are for beginner to intermediate writers. But, even seasoned writers like Wallace still were pulling substance from them!
1. [Writing Fiction by Janet Burroway](https://amzn.to/4cwXQkQ)
This was the classic text assigned to most fiction writers in workshops for decades in universities. I used this when I was 20 and took the tips and exercises seriously and it helped me make massive improvements in my writing. If you’ve never been published, been through workshop courses, or aren’t actively reading craft books then this is a good book. There are a couple more comprehensive books today for fiction craft but at the end of the day what matters is following a program to improve your writing.
2. [Rhetorical Grammar: Grammatical Choices, Rhetorical Effects](https://amzn.to/4cuYy23)
This is a very good book on grammar, sentence structure and [[Syntax]]. If you are getting started on your journey I would recommend “Artful Sentences” and more targeted books on grammar but the more you study the better!
3. [Writing with Style: Conversations on the Art of Writing by John Trimble](https://amzn.to/43uwB6q)
This is a great book for improving your non-fiction writing. If you wrote some essays in college but are trying to get back into it for blogging or books this is a good place to start!
4. [What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers](https://amzn.to/43s0uV7)
I’m not a big fan of writing exercise books but this one is good. I’ve used this a handful of times to spark creativity years ago when I didn’t have as much to write about. Now I’m over my head with projects and ideas.
5. [Writing Past Dark by Bonnie Friedman](https://amzn.to/43ynwtd)
If you’re feeling weird about your writing in terms of guilt, pressure, writers-block or anything surrounding that this is a decent book. It’s mostly just her musing on her experience as a writer but can be helpful. It for sure won’t make things worse!
6. [On Writer's Block by Victoria Nelson](https://amzn.to/3TujXzK)
A decent book on writers block. There are hundreds of better books on productivity though IMO. Will have a massive course for writers soon on being more productive.
7. [Story First: The Writer As Insider by Kit Reed](https://amzn.to/3Pxjewo)
8. [How to Write Poetry by Nancy Bogen](https://amzn.to/3IPI8Ul)
9. [Thinking in Writing: Rhetorical Patterns and Critical Response by Donald McQuade

David Foster Wallace’s Favorite Books
Below is a selection of books David Foster Wallace has mentioned as his favorite books in interviews and essays. A * denotes books I also highly recommend!
### Don DeLillo
Wallace was a massive fan of DeLillo and said DeLillo has the best body of work of any modern American author. Here are the books Wallace mentioned he likes of DeLillo and that were in his library.
[Americana](https://amzn.to/3TuwQKi): This is DeLillo’s first book and criminally underrated. It has problems like any first novel but its not hard to follow or anything crazy.
[Ratner’s Star:](https://amzn.to/3TvFRTd) Very complex, mathematical, and not the easiest to follow. Need to commit to a rereading and looking online for answers to get the most out of it. However, this is probably Wallace’s biggest inspiration from DeLillo. He talks about this one all the time.
### [End Zone:
](https://amzn.to/3Vric9a)
[Great Jones Street:](https://amzn.to/3PAkSxg)
* [Libra](https://amzn.to/3IRinmI): Another banger by DeLillo. He writes about Lee Harvey Oswald in depth!
[Mao II](https://amzn.to/3IO8BSr): DeLillo writes about a reclusive author like him and goes pretty crazy here!
### [Players:](https://amzn.to/3PySHiz)
Thomas Pynchon
Wallace has been lauded as the next Pynchon time and time again. Here are the books Wallace has mentioned or that are in his library.
- [Gravity’s Rainbow:](https://amzn.to/3PyyitM) One of the greatest novels of all-time! Buy this book on check out my course on it (coming in 2024)
- [The Crying Lot of 49:](https://amzn.to/4a3zZrj) Easiest book to get in Pynchon. Less than 200 pages and not too crazy!
