Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. 3.9 on Goodreads. Should be 4.5 minimum. It's a masterpiece that people DNF because it's brutal.
House of Leaves. Too weird for mass audiences but genuinely one of the most original novels ever written.
The Dispossessed by Le Guin. Rated 4.0 but it's one of the most important sci-fi novels ever written.
