I get what you mean. Gravity's Rainbow sometimes feels disjointed and the plot wasn't clear to me for a long time. 

I don't think it is bad, but that it so detail rich, it is almost like you have to learn how to speak his language. Maybe I enjoy self-inflicted pain.

I guess I'm being unfair, but I can only bring myself to read him every few years or so and then I don't do so again for quite a while.
