Most Pynchon is hard going (a nice exception is the short, accessible, and terrific "Crying of Lot 49". I liked "Vineland" okay, and I like "V" more, but it was mostly over my head. "Gravity's Rainbow" has some great moments, but few and far between. It's overrated, in my opinion - probably because, again, I didn't 'get' most of it.
