The most informative book I've ever picked up was the
It will dazzle the mind.

To me the most interesting book is the great war

The Cabin in the Woods, The Woodcutters Wife, An Argonian Account, Palla, A Dance in Fire, The Real Berenziah

Because I'm obsessed with political intrigue, The Great War is one of my favourites.
For non-fiction though, I've always loved The Mirror. Short but splendid.

The 2920 series!!!

A Game at Dinner was always one of my favourites.

I really enjoyed 'The Mirror.' It was kind of funny because it reminded me of certain attitudes towards fighting games and just competitive video games in general. The main character in the book, Mindothrax, is basically accused by his comrades of "playing lame" because he spends entire battles just shielding every attack and only retaliating when he gets a good opportunity, but he just calls them a bunch of losers because they'd rather die fighting "honorably" than win fighting to the best of their abilties.
Needless to say, he pretty much destroys every enemy because they spend all their energy flailing at his shield.

Then one day he meets another warrior who has the same attitude towards battle. They spend many, many hours just faking out each other and keeping their shield ready, and Mindothrax only loses in the end because he makes a single, dumb mistakes and gets taken out in one hit.

As I said, it really reminds me of competitive fighting games. For instance, in Street Fighter, some people consider it "cheap" to block all the time. It's also "cheap" to use throws all the time (because they can't be blocked), and basically everything that is used to defeat these people can be labeled "cheap," especially if you just do one thing over and over again (you have to wonder why they don't just adapt to these repetitive and predictable strategies).
The competive Street Fighter players' response? They just play to win and don't let themselves be held back by arbitrary, unwritten rules. Get better and quit whining.

The locked room is cool, but I really liked one alteration skill book about a siege where an army of ebony armored warriors snuck up on the enemy armies camp by using one Mage per ten warriors to cast water breathing on them and march across the bottom of the lake. I have no idea what the title was tho.

The most hilarious: A Gentleman's Guide To Whiterun. And you even get to meet the author! And then you even get to
The must-read, to understand the 'ongoing hostilities': The Great War

The rest is great read, can't really pick favourite (series).

Poor, poor Cicero's journal. And I'm building up a library to read, one day I'm going to sit down and just read them all.

You should hit up books. Actually very good, aside from the immense amount of typos

Immortal Blood, The Wolf Queen, The Real Barenziah, and A Dance In the Fire are all favorites to me, have been for a while.

It's funny though that you mentioned A Cabin in the Woods -- I read it for the first time last night and I can honestly say it sent some shivers down my spine. So, it's my most recent favorite as well.

Almost all the books are TL;DNR for me

Can someone explain what bazreniah is about in few words. Too lazy to read on uesp

I really liked Night Falls On Sentinel the ending is so perverse.

"Let's keep better count this time. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven..." Now that was really cool.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it before. I thinks it's rare, but you have to get it for the wife of the smith in Dawnstar.

The cabbin in the woods...easy question,or maybe...the woodcutters wife,everything about morrowind or the dwemer is also very interesting.

I forget the name of it--something about walking through the woods--it was really good.



@Galvorn11--"The cabbin in the woods".

Yeah, I think that's the one.

I read one with a soilder that rest's then sees a ghost. I'm not sure of the name of the book but that's the one i like.

Definitely http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/A_Game_At_Dinner.

I just want to know, why can't the devs ask whoever wrote these magnificent books, to write better quality quests? It would have been a masterful RPG.

It may not be appropriate to tell the story on the forums.

I believe that would be A Cabin in the Woods.
Also I saw http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNTUxNzYyMjg2N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTExNzExNw@@._V1._SY317_.jpg yesterday at the Theatre hanging on the wall.

I like the war stories with a twist at the end, like The Mirror. Often a sad twist, but that's life (and death).

All 12 volumes of the "2920" series is a personal favortie of mine. Another one is "Palla" v1 and v2. A quick one that made me chuckle was "Thief of Virtue". "The Mystery of Talara" and "The Mirror" are an excellent reads while munching on some food. "Immortal Blood" is sadistic, yet entertaining.

The list can go on....
