i liked The Real Barenziah
why is it edited?
Male Khajiit and the interesting places they have barbs.
hmmm... some of the daggerfall books that didn't make it to any later games, like "King Edward" (I'm sure non of you have read that one)
I used King Edward part IX as one of the examples of both Heartfire and Hearthfire being written in in-game books the other day. :deal: :thumbsup:

Currently playing a rogue that collects any books about thieves. Well I found Chance's Folly and just loved it. Hoping I can make a whole collecting of thief related books.

anyone ever read the one about the two thieves stuck on the island, I like that one. I also enjoyed most of the ones already mentioned.

The Rising Threat, An Explorers Guide to Skyrim, Biography of the Wolf Queen, The Rise and Fall of the Blades, The Book of the Dragonborn, and there are many others. I should try to read a lot more books though, some mentioned here I have not read though I've heard of them. I'll try to find and read them today. :smile:

Oh, too many to name. They're all good.

I picked up Myths of Sheogorath recently, that was pretty funny.

The Bear of Markarth made me :ohmy: and was the last straw in terms of how I view the Stormcloaks.

The Talos Mistake because it is such painfully obvious propaganda.
Well this is ironic. :whistling:

A GAME AT DINNER! Omg I loved that one. It was one of the first books i read in game, and i was suprised that it was so well written. Also Darkness Falls Over Sentinel and Imoortal Blood are pretty good, mainly because of their twists.

The Lusty Argonian Maid. I have a bookshelf full of it in my secret Hjerim room. I wish they still had some of the uncensored books from Morrowind days.

I enjoyed the ones about two hypothetical mages talking to each other about getting loot out of a dungeon and killing off the rest of everyone. There are the two mages and two workers, they workers get killed after the get out and so that leaves the two mages who use certain spells on each other then discuss the best way to get the advantage killing each other. But I tend not to read many books in skyrim, I like reading journals though. Also use ful books like the herbalist one and a interesting one about the effects of Were-wolf transformations.

Actually Daggerfall had the unedited books. You have to search the wiki to find those now.

A Game at Dinner was my favorite in Oblivion, and still is.
I thought the Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes were a good read.
[Even though I'm gay] The Lusty Argonian Maid was funny...because I didn't get that it was literotica until a straight friend was wondering why I was reading it.
The one lockpicking book about the girl who gets locked in a room, and she picks the lock, and then locks the master in their, and it is a *requires key* door and the key is on the neck of a vampire whom is sleeping in a coffin till night time in the center of the room. I wish I remembered the name.
Beggar, Thief, Warrior, and King was excellent.

Read 'Cabin in the Woods' alone with the lights lowered

I've read it with the lights completely off and I didn't find it that scary, I enjoyed it but it wasn't really frightening.

What's more frightening is the supposed shriek you can actually hear in a certain location in Falkreath Hold that is said to be the ghost from the book.
