Now I have several books that I started but wasn't immediately taken with..
I used to have a rule that I would read at least the 1/3 of a book, and if that point I still wasn't in to it - I could walk away from it. Now I seem to have a shorter attention span.

Any feedback on this list?

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian

The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

I just read Juliet, Naked and I liked it a lot. It helps if you have lived with music snobs tho

Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac

I think I like it better then OTR. Now if only I could get Big Sur and Desolation Angels in.

I may or may not be a music snob myself

I'll try that story again. I do love Nick Hornby.

Thank you.
