So my favourite books are Frankenstein, Our Hideous Progeny (Frankenstein retelling), If We Were Villains, The Idiot by Elif Batuman and I'm halfway through, gonna finish it today, Katabasis by R.F Kuang. They're all written very flowery and with…a lot of words you could say and they all have the academic, science vibe going on like in Our Hideous Progeny and Frankenstein there's so much talk about Science that like I actually took some things from it and in The Idiot it's real philosophy sprinkled in and in Katabasis it's fiction presented as truth like Dantes Inferno is non fiction basically in that book and that's also really amazing and fascinates me so I would like more of these kind of books, fiction and non fiction/ science working side by side
