Right now I'm reading Out by Natsuo Kirino, it's pretty good so far but I haven't gotten too far into it.

The prose is very good, especially the description of menial work and living while poor, and it's really remarkable how the author can make you sympathize with a truly snotty and judgemental main character.

I haven't really got to the meat of the story yet so I'm hoping it gets a bit more fast-paced.
