Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

I know this book is widely hailed as a masterpiece and is, of course, on many best books lists.  But I couldn't make it through!  I started it.  It is very "literary" and has many disjointed vignettes and stream-of-consciousness type passages.  Pynchon shuns the traditional narrative form.  It is also very long, and I wasn't enjoying it at all, so I quit!  It was also not awarded a pulitzer because of a scene of someone receiving sexual pleasure from feces (I never got to that part.), which I find quite gross and didn't want to read.  I guess I'm not a very "literary" person.  It definitely isn't worth the time.
