He's one of those authors I think I probably should like. And I gave Gravity's Rainbow and Against the Day a real try, but got stuck somewhere in the middle in both cases.
Conceptually, he's interesting, but on the micro-level of sentence to sentence, I find reading him a struggle.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but comparing him to an author like David Foster Wallace who is also supposed to be "difficult", I enjoy the flow of language and the way with words much more in DFW.
But I will might give it a shot eventually.
