Books Most Worth Reading

Post » Fri Jul 13, 2012 2:30 pm

Again with the grammar and spelling...

"their" should be "there", and "book" should be plural. Don't try to insult me because you don't proofread your posts. It literally did not make any sense.



"Does anyone a really good book"????

"I would greatly not appreciate it"????

I see. I did the second part on purpose.. Is grammar all that important on a forum anyway?
Plus, I know you did know what it meant though. Therefore you are just a person who likes to point out peoples mistakes.

I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to cause that much disruption, I was just originally trying to get clarification to your first post.

OT: I have really enjoyed reading about the Dwemer. I bet you can find copies of the "Dwemer Inquiries" (3 volumes) with Calcelmo in Markarth at Understone Keep. I think it's fascinating to read about these elves who no one has seen, and no one knows what happened to them.

I enjoyed the "Immortal Blood" book, I've read so many books. If I could ever collect every Wolf Queen I'd read that seris but I can't find Volume 1!

To be honest I actually like the CONTENT of the book but find the way you have to read it rather annoying. Being a gov major in college means I read hundreds of pages of material a week and extremely quickly. Reading the books in game is tedious because I spend a third of the time flipping the pages rather than reading.

So instead I like to spend my time reading the lore in the TES Library website.

Same here. Looks interesting, although I would never even go to cheating measures to obtain it.

A Dance in Fire and The Argonian Account (From the same author and about the same character) are excellent!

Also, I highly recommend the "Beggar, Warrior, King" books; they are intelligent and quite funny.

Love the King series. I'm just calling it that since I forgot the main character's name...

If you want to read something that's actually useful instead of a story that may or may not be a fiction inside a fiction, you would like to read books like "Bear of Markath", "Explorer's Guide to Skyrim" or similar books. I find it more enjoyable to read that lengthy stories like the Real Barenziah.

There are many good books. I no longer read them, but back during the Morrowind days, the best book I read was A Game at Dinner.

Another one is The Mirror.

There are many great books as well. Some are too cliche, some are nice, all would have been great if the devs had converted some of them into quests.

I have just picked up the falthrum series, I pick up most books if they sound odd or I have not heard of them before. I liked a Hypo something? Treachery, I think that was the name or it might of been different.
