Extended Stay
Juan Martinez
Juan Martinez's Extended Stay is AMAZING (about 100+ pages in). Pure and unnerving horror! I had to put the book down for two months after maybe one of the most unflinchingly brutal first chapters I have ever read (this is a warning and a recommendation)! [READ IT!]

Playback
Raymond Chandler
Playback was an odd little book to finish the Marlowe novels (I believe it started as a screenplay and Chandler was going through some things) - still good stuff! If I were to rank the books it would go, for me:
