I try to. But skyrim is kinda a pain. Cant find copies of the wolf queen 2,5, and 7. But the best book of all time in my opion was troll slaying. If you hate trolls, this book will just be the best damn thing to put on a shelf. The moment i saw chp. 1 I saw a troll!!!! i just knew it was gonnna be awesome.
Do you read in-game?

Usually, in Skyrim, I only read books if they somewho relate to the main plot. Like stuff about the Thalmar, Ulfric, the Dragonborn.
Stuff like say, the codex entries in Mass Effect, I do find myself reading for quite a bit. So much interesting lore within that universe.

Depends really. I do read lores and tutorials but when it come to quest givers I may or may not read it. It depend how long it is written, the summary of the objectives and size of the texts.
I read everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.
If they took the time to write it all out and put it in the game in the hopes that someone will care enough to read it then I don't see why not.

I read in-game only if I get really bored. Like after I've beaten Arkham Asylum/City 3 times, I might open up a few character bios.
In Skyrim? I have not read one book. You kidding me? There are far more awesome things that need doing to waste my time reading. Maybe once I've completed everything in my quest log and become head of every organization and have maxed out stats and have purchased and fully upgraded every house, THEN I'll relax and read a book. Maybe.

Not really. I skim on occasion. But mostly I ignore things like the Codex/Journal in ME and DA games, and the books in Skyrim.
I am tortured by the books in Skyrim.
I really want to read them, I have a collection of titles that sound like interesting reads. I'll even glance through the first few pages of each one to get a preview before putting it back on the shelf.
But I'll never read them because if I'm on Skyrim, I'm in Skyrim.
It's weird, I feel like I'm wasting my time being in this game world and just reading books.
But I really want to read these damn books, and they don't take that long to read anyway.
(Yes, I know about that iphone/nook app, I'd totally be on that, but I don't have either)

I read everything. I spent at least half an hour trying to decipher the Tenets in the Dark Brotherhood hideout, and the plaques in Windhelm.
I generally read instructions (*gasp* well I'm an engineer so I can get away with it without losing MAN points), quest objectives, generally most of the fluff so that I can find out why I would do certain things (and usually drop a quest or two that I think is a bit too OOC).
I read everything in the Mass Effect games as it came in. Because I'm a sci-fi nut and I love reading all the explanations of technology and alien races and stuff.
Skyrim, well, it takes long enough to get to different areas and finish dungeons, so I just end up putting most of the books into my house in Whiterun, to read some later when I feel like it.
I've also got a big backlog of stuff to read in Dragon Age: Origins.

I like backstory. On the condition it makes sense.
The thief of virtue (in the elder scrolls games) is one of my favorites.
but I also read the Mass effect codex... and found some tiny mistakes in Me2 codex

I've read all of the books about the Dwemer in Skyrim. I find their lost culture and ruins really interesting.
It really does depend just how much the game grabs me. I have read the long stuff in the past (I sat through the entire re-write of the Metal Gear Solid 1 story within Substance even though I had played the first game not a week before I did), but most stuff, such as bestiaries and encyclopedias of made up animals and history that doesn't directly influence gameplay really seems redundant. Unless it's relevant to the story you're playing, I cannot be bothered to read the whole thing (though sometimes it does pay to, developers tend to put a lot of strategic hints within them if you're paying attention). To me a lot of it seems like a lot of redundant world building.
