Ok, from this point on I, Celebes, will cease being a cunt on /lit/ because I am bored/restless like I have been doing for this past fortnight.

70s: This is a hard decade, because a lot of people like Stephen King sprang up and blocked out the "literary" crowd. I would recommend Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie, but that is a year off from being a 70s novel. Strictly going by the 70s, I would suggest Gravity's Rainbow as the OP has. But also look into Midnight's Children because that was a good book.

god you fags suck at this so hard

THESE BOOKS ARE GOOD AS CONFIRMED BY ME AND FROM THE SEVENTIES:

thomas bernhard's the lime works (a work of demented genius like everything by bernhard)
georges perec's life a user's manual
italo calvino's invisible cities
jg ballard's the atrocity exhibition
tony duvert's strange landscape
coleman dowell's island people
pierre guyotat's eden eden eden
peter handke's the weight of the world

This book was totally useless except the Grand Inquisitor and the Devil. The rest is over analyzed bullshit to take up space. I have never wanted to know less about a story more than I did in the Brothers Karamazov. Holy fucking shit. 702 pages and only 60 are worth reading.
