What do you consider the most entertaining to read book in Skyrim?

So far all I've read were materiel on par with dumb ass teenagers, feel so scripted.

The series are the best. Ones that take more than one book to finish.

The 2920 series (which is 12 books long) is the best in my opinion. It also appeared in Morrowind and Oblivion, and I always made it one of my personal missions to find and collect each 2920 book in every game. :)

Where in particular would I find that?

Hopefully you know the difference from a good book and one with a lot of words.

Try the Wolf Queen, A Dance in Fire, Surfeit of Thieves.
Also very good are the Beggar/ Thief/ Warrior/ King books.

Anything by Waughin Jarth.

You can look them all up on the UESP, they're scattered all over the world, and I honestly can't remember any one exact location I found any of the 2920 books. :( Most of them are hidden away in dungeons. Also a lot of them are skill books too, so that's an added bonus. :)

Any Sheogorath book is entertaining, I've found.
I Haven't taken time to read the longer books, though.

You can literally pick any, more entertaining

I read those four. Poorly written, it feels like I'm reading some teenagers essay with the starting sentence being, "This is my essay and I'm going to talk about..."

You complain about "poorly written" and this

Is your choice to use as an example of not poorly written?

You confuse me.

Most books are literal copies of those featured in Morrowind. But once again It's not related to nostalgia (I must admit I miss Vivec's sermons, though).

There's a book about a High Elf during the Oblivion Crisis, I think is a series. I also enjoyed the Monomyth and the Akatosh/Alduin dilogy or something like that.

Beggar-King quadrilogy. So good. The Last Scabbard of Akrash is a favorite. Myths of Sheogorath is awesome, but too short. :/ A Dance in the Fire. (:
