Right, relax and enjoy the ride, if you try not to trip, you
will anyway, but it won't be pleasant. But I think there are
many ways to enjoy the trip. One can certainly read GR  as
one listens to jazz, but one can also read it as a complex
work of many voices ironically structured through images and
allusions. I think both approaches compliment each other,
but I think its important, when possible, to determine the
position of the narrator and examine the the reader's
process of making sense of the narrative.
