My guess

Don Quixote

Psycho
Both are incorrect. Though Don Quixote is on my TBR list.

Here's some more.

Second book found after author died

Walking on a rather old trail

Building a stone church in priory

This one some may disagree with.

Greatest work of fiction ever written

Here's another.

Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales? I suspect that’s not what you had in mind. There are too many books where this would apply.*

Yes, that's what I was going for. If it was Canterbury Tales I would use something like. "Stories to put one to sleep".

This one should be rather easy.

A boat deep under the water

Then we have...

Christianity sucks, mentor villain, secret society
People die. People die. People die
Never leave home without your towel
Fan fiction becomes really bad porn
You really cannot change the past
