Since quality is purely subjective, I can only answer what my "favourites" are.

A Magic Mountain and The Waves.
>>
>>8509743
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.
>>
>>8509744
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.

Yes

Suttree is great tho.

>>8506286
Either this or Ulysses desu

>>8507929
If it were finished, maybe
>>
>>8506262
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
>>
>>8510428
>classic literature is mostly vastly overrated

What works have you read that make you say this?

>>8506274

Moby Dick is great but fuck it's so dense. I can only go through it in 10 page sessions. Taking me longer than Karamazov
