I have a couple of books like this. The Discworld books, especially Feet of Clay and Small Gods. Good Omens. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Song of Achilles, and Circe. Persian Fire, Perfume, Fevre Dream, The Hobbit.
I listen to the audiobooks of all of them. I put them on to help me sleep. I play The Hobbit in the car when I’m having a really long and difficult drive. And when life is really rough, I’ll put one of these books on, curl up in bed, and just disappear for a few hours.
The dinosaurs were also written more as just scary monsters, with a lack of the respect/beauty of them the movie had.
