The Bone Bed, Patricia Cornwell--another masterful work in the Kay Scarpetta series. Cornwell just keeps getting better and better...

Denis O'Grady - A Bottle of Sandwiches. A fun, undemanding* and good-natured read about a couple of Australian blokes who decide to take some time off to drive, work and drink their way around the country.
 
*apart from deciphering some of the colourful Aussie Sixties slang.

"A Crown of Swords" book seven of Wheel of Time series  Robert Jordan.

Just Finished:
 
Lost Girls, by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie (1991-1992, published in collected format in 2006)
I don't know that Moore's writing is necessarily at its strongest here, but his thematic daring has perhaps never been greater, and I personally found it a joy to read. Not for the faint of heart or the closed of mind, but mature comics readers will probably find something to really grab onto here. Recommended--just be aware of what you're getting into before you pick it up (for reference, Moore calls it a pornographic work).
 
Currently Reading:
 
Hyperion, by Dan Simmons (1989)
Borrowing this one from a friend. One of those 'classic' sci-fi novels I'd never heard of, but I'm glad to be reading it. It does suffer somewhat from what I consider to be a pretty standard sci-fi problem, where the author's ideas are better than their writing, but Simmons's transgressions are few and far between, and the central mysteries of the novel are so compelling that it's hard to fault it much. If you're casting about for some slightly older sci-fi and you're well familiar with the perennial classics, this might be a good pick. 
 
What's Next:
 
I'm not 100% certain, but probably Victor Hugo's Toilers of the Sea (1866), in the translation by James Hogarth. 

 
It was surprisingly good for a rookie novelist!

-Now that is funny, I only started reading the very same novel in the same translation yesterday - and the author of the introduction laments (well, kind of, sort of) that it is one of Hugo's forgotten works...

I guess that's what happens when an author becomes so well known for one or two works that most people can't name anything else they're responsible for. I encountered Toilers for the first time after reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow and casting about for other novels that depict octopus attacks on humans, lol.

I read Firework after seeing Gordon Lish's video review and have been a huge fan of Marten since. Waste I enjoyed and it was interesting comparing it to McCarthy's Child of God, which I had read recently. Firework and In The Blind are my favorites and share a lot stylistically. Layman's Report I need to read again, the transition from fact-based to purely fiction was jarring, though I preferred the latter, but I think I may have read too quickly.

"Waste" was a quick read. I'm was thinking that maybe I read it too quickly. My first experience with Marten. I'm still processing the story. I enjoyed his style. I will definitely look into the other Marten books that you mention.
