What's your favorite book?

Mine's Kolb and the dragon.
on the first read i decided to go to the tavern before attacking the dragon. I laughed so hard when the evil high elves poisoned my mead so they could steal my gold. Made me think of antisemitic Nazi propaganda.

I don't remember the name that well but it's the Legend of Kratley Manor or something like that, where two thieves go into a haunted house, it's almost like a script for a play.

Advances in Lockpicking is so far the most amazing one for me. It was written by a genius. Simple, straight to the point, yet elegant.

The Cabin in the Woods or Chances Folly. You should definitely read The Cabin in the Woods, it's very good.

Maybe some day I will read all books at once, but not single ones ingame with missing parts and such.

For me it is a toss-up between my three favorites... all classics from Morrowind, and I was pleased to find them still here, I know the stories through and through, but I still read them whenever I pick them up or have the time...
The Marksmanship Lesson
The Locked Room
Night Falls on Sentinel

They're all pretty much my favorites with plenty of delicious variety. One that stands out at the moment whose title i cant remember is about legends such as the Grey Lady. A few others are:

Liminal Bridges
Yngol And The Sea Ghosts
Response To Bero's Speech
Ruins of Kemel Ze
Yellow Book Of Riddles
Dwemer Inquiries
Song Of The Askelde Men
Chances Folly
The Locked Room

Thumbs up Hellbishop for The Locked Room, and P.S. the book you are talking about is Lost Legends I believe...

You should. Some of those books are pretty racey. Amazing what you can get away with when you know most people aren`t going to read it!

Anyway, I did read a book that was very intersting and very sad. It was about some gorgeous girl, but at the end she got thrown off a cliff and was afraid cos she was just holding on. Then a little girl (?) told her if she just relaxed it wouldn`t hurt when she fell to the rocks below...

...So she let go and fell like a leaf.

I was looking madly for the rest of the pages but the story ended there.

I hate endings like that- they always bug me.

3 thieves I think it's called. About the three thieves who rob a vault and the leader shows them how to cleanly cut a throat. Anyway, it's really good.

I also like the one about the two bosmer archers, one being a high ranked royal and the other a poor captain. Funny ending!

Hey Szythe thanks yea thats the one. I knew it had Legends as part of the name but wasnt sure if there was another similar named book more related to weapons and not the creepy stuff i was thinking of.

I still have to read the new ones, but "The Book of the Daedra" is one of my favorites so far in the series, classic.

I liked the Cabin in the Woods very much, and also the Cake and the Diamond (I think?).
Every book that I've read was entertaining, though I do not remember all their titles.
