I've read Gravity's Rainbow, V., and pic related.

Is it worth reading more? It seems like he's being deliberately opaque most of the time and when you drill down there's not actual substance.

Plus he is constantly trying to present scat and pedophilia as normal, human condition stuff. It makes me cringe.

Why is this guy so highly regarded?

Almost finished with this, and I've had trouble comprehending what's going on 50% of the time. I want to read Gravity's Rainbow next, but worried that I'm too retarded to understand his prose for 700 pages.
Does it get less dense?
