Everyone here seems to love Gravity's Rainbow, and although I would like to read it, I hear it has Infinite Jest level complexity and patience. I honestly would like something a bit lighter to cycle off class textbooks that take up a lot of my reading. How good is his other work? Should I just go chronological?

The crying of lot 49 might also be a good start, because it's short.

No, V.'s the best starting point. Can't beat the Pynchronology

Crying of Lot 49 is the best start if you're relatively new to reading more "literary" fiction, and V. is better if you've already have more experience reading more literary works. In my opinion.
