Gravity's Rainbow or the companion? I found the companion a little dry, but it's worth it, I guess. If you meant the novel, I'd say just read a preview chapter or something, and proceed if you're enchanted. I actually thought V was much better-written on a sentence and plot level (still complex and allusive, but in a more engaging, less perfunctory way).Is it really that good? I have it but I haven't tried it because, to be honest, I found V rather hard. And I have read several complex books.

Snow Crash is probably in my top 10, and I've read a few of Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, Anathem, and Reamde). The only one I didn't love was Reamde. I look forward to his next book regardless.
Are Diamond Age and Baroque Cycle worth reading?
