What's you favorite Skyrim book?

[BathorysGraveland]

I loved the "Tragedy in Black" myself. Seeing as though I worship the Dremora (damn, who needs either Aedra OR Daedra when you can worship the glorious Kyn instead?), I enjoyed that short story and it was so befitting of the Dremora to trick the guy and break the conjuration, then bring havoc down upon any other lowly Churl mortals it can find. Good stuff, good stuff.

Of course, I'm also interested in the Dwemer-related books. I really enjoyed "The Ransom of Zarek" I think it was called, good stuff.

"The Thief of Virtue"

thats the one where the thief shags the posh wifey, right?
love that one.

My favourite: A Hypothetical Treachery

that was pretty damn good.

 

[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...

 

[Montezuma's Lawyer]

The Lusty Argonian Maid.

Duh.

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

 

[Fijiman]

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.

Spoiler

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!!"
