Gravity's Rainbow was a fucking trip and is easily one of my favorite novels. The "Meme Trilogy," books are all similar in the sense of dragging you in and taking you for a long, intense ride, which I don't think is a bad thing at all.

Pic related, my personal all-time favorite.

Mason and Dixon gets the heavy feels in places, especially that ending.

>At Bishop they learn'd that Dixon had been buried in back of the Quaker Meeting-House in Staindrop. Doctor Isaac stay'd with his Father, step for step. At the grave, which by Quaker custom was unmark'd, Mason beseech'd what dismally little he knew of God, to help Dixon through. The grass was long and beaded with earlier rain. A Cat emerg'd from it and star'd for a long time, appearing to know them.
"Dad?" Doc had taken his arm. For an instant, unexpectedly, Mason saw the little Boy who, having worried about Storms at Sea, as Beasts in the Forest, came running each time to make sure his father had return'd safely, — whose gift of ministering to others Mason was never able to see, let alone accept, in his blind grieving, his queasiness of Soul before a life and a death, his refusal to touch the Baby, tho' 'twas not possible to blame him.... The Boy he had gone to the other side of the Globe to avoid was looking at him now with nothing in his face but concern for his Father.
"Oh, Son." He shook his Head. He didn't continue.
"It's your Mate," Doctor Isaac assur'd him, "It's what happens when your Mate dies."

"Since I was ten," said Doc, "I wanted you to take me and Willy to America. I kept hoping, ev'ry Birthday, this would be the year. I knew next time you'd take us."
"We can get jobs," said William, "save enough to go out where you were,-"
"Marry and go out where you were," said Doc.
"The Stars are so close you won't need a Telescope."
"The Fish jump in your Arms. The Indians know Magick."
"We'll go there. We'll live there."
"We'll fish there. And you too."
