What are you reading?

I've just finished 'The Imperfectionists' by Tom Rachman
It was enjoyable but quite slow and ambling.

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
