Query: Why Bother?

DeLillo grabbed us with White Noise, and has dropped us ever since. This book, although poetic at times, and although is represents "the way people actually talk" is tedious, chaotic and difficult to stay with. If "reality" or "historicity" are the benchmarks of a good book, you'd have a better time sitting in the lobby of the Smithsonian and trying to eavesdrop on every person who walked by. I gave up on the cusp of part 5. Why bother?
