My advice is not to read it from start to finish, but to pick a chapter at random and see if it grabs you.

Comparing the two does not make a lot of sense. The movie has little in common with the book except for a few characters and locations. In fact only a few passages made it to the movie- and they are recited rather than dramatized/acted.

This is indeed how Burroughs suggest the book be read, in his 'Atrophied Preface'. The book itself was composed in this way.

Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, quite a good book.

I'm reading this now as well! Actually I'm almost done with it. It's something else.
