I've read it

Short answer: yeah, but you're going to hate yourself through some passages.

The book tries very hard (and very effectively imo) in creating its own mythos, repeating itself over and over always with slight deviation each time, Jim Mayne, the book's protagonist, ends up being stretched across several (often contradictory) stories. Unlike a similarily difficult book like Ulysses, you don't have the whole internet to help you out on the particularly challenging sections, some of which are just as hard as The Wandering Rocks. You really kind of are on your own (or with me and the handful of other masochists who read this tome).

I don't quite know where to start in talking about WnM so if you (or anyone else) has any questions that i can try to answer, pew pew away

Anything you read beforehand that you could tell helped you out?

>>9470957
The Greeks, obviously.

Different guy, but earlier McElroy, if you like. Not even sure how helpful that would be though as his style can jump around so much.
There's not a crazy amount of intertextual referencing, so really, the only reason any prior reading would be helpful is to help build up your reading skills. So like... hard stuff, which you'd probably already be interested in if you're interested in W&M.
