I think that's why it's my favourite book of his (plain-ness)! I've only scanned The Naked Lunch and I gather it's not my thing.
I'm having to read Mrs Dalloway (Virginia Woolf) for my English course. I quite like it... though because the characters' emotions are evoked impressionistically rather than stated directly, it can be a trial if you're not in a responsive mood, tired, etc. Then it just seems like random words on a page.
