Most good books have good endings, coz a bad ending is just disastrous.

Off the top of my head:-
Moby Dick
Watership Down
Catch-22
Lord Of The Flies
A Tale Of Two Cities

I know they are memes at this point, but The Sun Also Rises and The Great Gatsby still do have God-tier ending lines. Actually, if you think about this: >>10553072, perhaps great ending lines are for high school lit.

People always point to TSAR, but I think A Movable Feast has the better ending line.

I think Hemingway's best endings are in The Old Man and the Sea and For Whom the Bell Tolls
