Also voting Roussel. I haven’t read Kokoro, alas.

Roussel for sure. Read it back in my undergrad days after hearing that it was one of Ashbery's faves

Kokoro or Ragged-Trousers.
Angel Island is interesting and depressing: some men are shipwrecked on an island of winged women, spend the rest of the books subjugating and ruining the women's lives, then cut off their wings.
World Set Free is also interesting but minor Wells.

Komodo is his best, such an intense reading experience

Roussel far and away the most interesting author on this list.

Would be pretty awesome if the book was called Komodo.

A locus, a solus, oooh you need a bolus
Of the trousers, so ragged, read H Rider Haggard
Oh the earth's core, Rice Burroughs, baby why don't we go
Down to Kokoro
We'll read it fast and then we'll read it slow
That's where we want to go
Way down to Kokoro
