Since quality is purely subjective, I can only answer what my "favourites" are.
A Magic Mountain and The Waves.

Np I also consider it to be the supreme work that transcends any other known attempt of art.
I mean just look at Prologue of John's Gospel... out of this world.
>>8506262
The Great Gatsby, as a matter of course.
Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Alcatraz
My favorite novel is probably Don Quixote, but I think The Brothers Karamazov is better, and I only like it a little bit less.

Seconding The Waves. It's as close to a flawless novel as you can get.
Classic literature is mostly incredibly overrated, and churned out vastly more pseudointellectual elites than any contemporary shit. And I'm sure I'll get dozens of (You)s for suggesting McCarthy's purportedly weakest work is the most GOAT novel ever.

You don't happen to be from r/books, do you?
Just a hunch
>>8507929
Der Prozess > Das Schloß, definitely. Have you read Der Prozess? Why do you think Schloß is better than Prozess?
Ulysses

>classic literature is mostly vastly overrated
What works have you read that make you say this?
