Not at all, really. The reference in the first post just stuck out to me because it was so unusual in the text. He makes a lot of references to some heavy lit stuff but most of the time the characters who make the reference know fuck-all about it (for example, a homeless guy says that Blake lived in a certain house but all he knows about Blake is that he was a poet and the text just moves on) and so far very few of the characters are particularly literary so any references that get made are either explained in detail or don't matter because the characters don't understand them either.

It's pretty approachable.
