I can't relate to that feeling, but then again I had no issues reading Pynchon or DeLillo. I appreciate the difference in cadence and don't believe prose has to conform to the same beats every time. It's true some books are easier to read (I'm reading a Murakami right now) and that is pleasant in its own way, but once you get into a flow I find it opens up and becomes enjoyable, in a particular way.
I would not want that all the time, but one doesn't read Russian lit all the time either. Becomes part of the experience for me.
