What's you favorite Skyrim book?

[Derek_the_Dodo]

i liked many of the ones that have been said, but theres another which i believe is an illusion skill book, which is where a group of mercs and an illusion specialist clear out an old crypt of vampires. I thought it was quite interesting. cant remember what it was called though...

The Lusty Argonian Maid.

Duh.

I see a disturbing lack of Lifts-her-Tail in this thread.

Out of all the books I've got in my "library" in both Oblivion and Skyrim, I've probably only read somewhere between 25 and 45% of the books I have. Even then I usually don't remember but half of what I've read.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

The Biography of Baernziah and The Real Barenziah are good reads, especially back to back. Also The Wolf Queen which I just read on my Kindle app and I really enjoyed The Legend of Red Eagle and its associated quest.

 

[Leon Pendragon]

The Lusty Argonian Maid.

Duh.

^This one and part 2

 

[Knight Templar]

The Song of Pelinal, it's prehaps a better story than book, but there is no other book/series of books for which I collect every copy I can find.

 

[AM City Watch]

Chance's Folly, I think. But only because I haven't been able to find a copy of Withershins.

 

[MammothBlade]

Wolf Queen, woop woop!

Agreed. It's brilliant. I like those which give you a good long read across several volumes.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Correction, Elderscrolls Books, most of the books were in Oblivion, many Morrowind and some even back as far as Daggerfall.

I'm partial to the Real Barenziah, Chance's Folly, and the Beggar-Thief-Warrior-King series.

Actually my absolute favourite is the Horror of Castle Xyr.:
We're loyal Imperial subjects.
As, I hear, are all Telvanni

Just a little nit-picking point, over 120 of the 240 books in Oblivion were copy-pasted directly from Morrowind, so technically Morrowind (who only had ~20 of its 290 books copied from Daggerfall) had more unique and new books than Oblivion. Just sayin'.

OT - As far as new Skyrim books go, my favourite has to be 'Kolb and the Dragon'. You can find a copy lying in the streets of Markarth if you haven't read it. It's a good chuckle.

 

[L3W15 M]

The horrors of castle xyr, or three thieves. Maybe the thief of virtue for laugh value.
And the 4 argonian account books. theres a lot of good ones actually.

 

[Wayneguard]

The Axe Man so much. Idk if it's in Skyrim but it was definitely in morrowind.

 

[iseeyouthere]

Argonian Account is a decent read.

 

[PixelKing]

The Real Barenziah is fun.
I'm planing on reading the Beggar-Thief-Warrior-King books, I'm just missing one of them.
Noob question, but is there any book shops in skyrim?

 

[Archemetis]

The Lusty Argonian Maid.

Duh.

True dat.

Beyond that, the guide to lockpicking is a good one.

I want the last two in that series so badly. I need to find some kind of book vendor in Skyrim to make collecting easier. I mean seriously, in every single TES game, getting all the books was my primary goal outside completing the main quest.

 

[mcnally86]

The one with the locked room is good. Also don't look at this until you beat the game.

The elder scroll. When someone watches me play I like to read it during intense fights. "I'll destroy you dragon by reading spells off this timeless artifact-MMYYYY EEEEYYYESSSS!!"
