I've tried Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun (Shadow of the Torturer) and like you, could not get into it. Sometimes the author takes too long with side trips or what I think is too mundane in the narrative. I really liked the concept though, may try again at some point.
Right now I've just finished "Bloodkin" by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. It's YA fantasy with vampires and shape shifters, a little quick and entertaining read for me. I've been reading every book this author publishes since I was 13. It was actually her work that put me on the path towards writing as a career/life passion.
I tried to get into "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell, but, having trouble with the narrative. Again, like the concept, just the delivery.
I may look into some of Gene Wolfe's other works, sounds interesting.
