I recently read Lord Jim (1900) by Joseph Conrad and really enjoyed it. There is a dense playfulness with words in a way that doesn't exist in my diet of Internet reading. The plot is unfurled from questionable narrators, deft time shifts, and overall is compelling and peppered with ethical dilemmas. Standard E-books made an excellently formatted version: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/joseph-conrad/lord-jim
