Looking to get into the lesser known novels of this type. So far I have read As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom!, Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man, To the Lighthouse (didn't really like Woolf), The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Trial, The Castle, Lolita, Pale Fire (is Nabokov modernist or post-modernist?), and Beckett's trilogy.

Of those, I think Faulkner, Joyce, and Kafka were my favorites. I liked Nabokov but at the same time felt something severe was lacking.

Is Under the Volcano a good one? What about The Magic Mountain? Where should I go from here?

Try the Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford, Mann (obviously), Under the Volcano (obviously), Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence, and the novels of Italo Calvino.

She was kid of a bitch. I could always tell which characters she hated and which she loved. And in terms of style, nothing she did was more than like 25% discounted James Joyce.
