I would also like to endorse
Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad. I enjoyed
Heart of Darkness so wouldn't mind reading another of his works.
And my last nomination I'd like to make for John Buchan's
The 39 Steps - 1915.

The Thirty-Nine Steps is an adventure novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. It first appeared as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine in August and September 1915 before being published in book form in October that year by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh.[1] It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack for getting himself out of sticky situations.

I'm not sure if this is literary enough for this club, so I'll throw it in and see what people think.
