I like to think I'm not the only one who actually spends a good portion of playtime reading the extremely well written books in Skyrim. I have read many books since the game released and I'm ALWAYS looking for new material. I recently stared to collect the books having to do with lore and the Wolf Queen I want to eventually collect all the books on the Dwemer. Before I get too off topic, can you all post some suggestions of the books most worth reading? Also, does anyone know of anywhere to buy a lot of books other than the College?

The Real Barenziah is by-far my favourite books series in TES. The books are very long each so you'll be occupied for awhile. If you haven't already, check them out. The volumes were hard for me to find in stores but the library in the Collage of Winterhold has them.

Can you explain a little? Why is it that is so great about these books? I've seen many of them and just kinda passed them by because I thought they would just be boring.

I heard the Great War is a good book. Someone made a thread about it and said it was amazing. About to get it as well and read it.

They have a fascinating story to them. I thought the same thing about that "Look boring" feeling, but then one day I just decided "Ah what the hell" picked it up, and started reading. It's basically (Not going to try and ruin it for you) (It takes place when Tiber Septim is a warring to take control of Tamriel) about a Dark Elf children is who born by the Queen of Mournhold in Morrowind and is sent to live in Skyrim, who with the help of a friend, escapes when she is in her teens and goes through a great adventure to take her place as Queen after her Parent's death. The fourth and fifth books sparked the hate emotions in me towards her because of her deeds. But I loved the series overall. Give it a try.

Of the top of my head a skill book called The Gold Ribbon of Merit, A Tragedy in Black, and Immortal Blood are some good books. There is also a couple books called Feyfolken I,II, and III that I was trying to find for the longest time. Found all three in a Dawnguard quest. Still gotta read them. I had to use UESP to find the names of these aside from Immortal Blood but I think they're really interesting.
I started collecting books in this game, gonna read them all eventually.

Read them uncensored... Too bad they are censored in games that aren't Daggerfall... That Khajiit sure knows how to disturb dunmer. If only this game had Vivec's 36 sermons. Those can be hilarious... I know! Dunmer of Skyrim. More for the fact that it is the closest call back to those hilariously racist "guides" to the cities of Cyrodiil you could get. Only it's just made to squabble with the nords.

All of them.

Especially the Lusty Argonian Maid.

Does it have anything to do with Barenziah and his stones that are scattered throughout Skyrim? I figured there would be some sort of hints as to where some shards might be if I read them.

Haha, sorry. Not unless they secretly mentioned them in the book.

Does anyone a really good book in Skyrim? Including it's exact location
I would greatly not appreciate it, but I would want it.

Barenziah is a famous Dunmer queen who led quite the interesting life up to - and after - taking assorted positions of power. It's a good read.

One thing you HAVE to understand before you settle into building your own library is that all the information found in books is never 100% accurate, all the stories have embellishments, there are different accounts of the same events, and at the end of the day you can't always believe what you read. But that just adds to the immersion of the Elder Scrolls in-game literature world : there's prayer books, war accounts, blatant propaganda, history books, text books, "missing" controversial chapters of X character's early life, so on, so forth.

They're all good reads, everything from the two-page ramblings of madmen to the 100 page, seven book series, but you have to genuinely enjoy just reading for the sake of reading. It will expand your concept of what exactly goes on in Tamrielic history from the first era all the way to just a few years back, and not all of it is going to be right. Or maybe it is. Bethesda has something of an untouchable masterclass position when it comes to in game literature, very little is ever confirmed one way or the other.

If you want some in-game fiction, I personally don't think it gets any better than the A Dance In The Fire series, and once you collect all seven books it's worth hunkering down for a half hour or so to read them all.

2920 is an excellent series as well.

You might try asking in this other thread that has already been started for the same purpose: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1395419-books-most-worth-reading/

There was a thread about this just made. Come on...

Try 'The Great War'

I have no idea what you just asked.

Only V4 lies in the College? Were might I get the others?

Go to the College of Winterhold. Lots of books there.

Do you know their are book to read in Skyrim? Yes, books in a video game.

Lol what?
Anyways, if you want a laugh try The Lusty Argonian Maid. It's not the best piece of literature in the game, but it's funny. Just don't read it when your mother is around
I found it while doing the thieves guild questline.

No, he is talking about how what you said make no sense. Please read:

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 always get a couple of volumes of The Real Barenziah in Breezehome. I've also found them in Caslte Dour and Dragonsreach.

Does the dude at the college get new books every 24-48 hours?
