I read The City & the City by China Miéville. If I were to recommend it, it would be because the author's English vocabulary is so much fuller than my own. I had to keep a dictionary handy to get through most of it and I appreciated the challenge.
Personally, I read digital copies now so that I don't have to stop to find the definition. On the Koreader application, it has a dictionary function which makes it really nice to read with.

Do you use a Kobo with Koreader installed?
I've been using a Kindle Paperwhite for a few years and while I love the screen, I've gotten tired of being tied to Amazon and have started looking at alternatives.
Not botanical, but I use KOReader on a Kobo Clara HD (the same screen as the Paperwhite, if I recall correctly), and am happy with it except for the arrangement; covers don't show, and sort-by-title didn't work last time I tried. It's currently by author, which would make sense if I knew enough author names along with their books.
I'm sure there's a way to get these things working, I just haven't put the time in yet.

Sorry I can't help you there as I use an OLED screen on android to read in the dark. Can't you jailbreak it and install Koreader?
I loved this book, such a great concept and wide open to interpretation.
They made a TV adaptation of it, I think they managed quite well given how difficult it is to visualise some of the concepts.
