I need some book recs. I generally like literary fiction like Nabokov, Pynchon and Shakespeare but I'm open to anything. Personal favorites, essentials, whatever. I try to read a little bit of everything and want to branch out more

Pippa Passes by Robert Browning is my favorite. It's very wordy, but that's not a problem if you're a heavy reader.
The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers is a good collection of gothic short stories. It leans more towards romance as the story progresses.
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is pretty good, and still relevant today imho.
The Highwayman by H.C. Bailey is nice if you want to read a dime novel. His Mr. Fortune series is also somewhat interesting, not exactly intellectually stimulating though.
These are all in the public domain, so you can find them online or listen to them on librivox if you're into audiobooks.
