I'm reading this and I'm wondering if it's worth continuing since i'm getting confused a lot. I didn't really understand the threat the adenoid dream prevented and I'm at the part about Slothrop's relatives gravestones and i've got no idea what's going on.

I read infinite jest pretty easily but this is on a whole different level. Should I keep trying /lit/?

Keep going, at some point it begins to have recurring characters
It's okay not to understand everything

If you're even mentioning DFW in the same breath as Pynchon you are a moron and a pseud trying to force feed himself culture.

Don't waste your time or your book's time on this pathetic attempt at ego stroking - you won't get anything out of it.

yess

Pynchon focuses on each individual "chapter" rather than the plot of the book as a whole. So its much easier and much more enjoyable to read this way.
