The Lusty Argonian Maid

Nah, I like A Game At Dinner. It was really well written and I love the sinister-iness of it all.

Yellow Book of Riddles is a close second.

Too many too choose from, I'd have to say either Withershins or the Lusty Argonian maid.
Both sparked similar reactions. "Hahah-WUT." o_o

Edit: I just thought a another one I remembered reading written by the funniest wood elf in Tamriel,
How many Orcs does it take to light a torch?
Depends, is an Orc doing the counting?

I can't remember what the text was called, but it had a few amusing cheeky stabs at the other races.

I really did like Immortal Blood. I read it after I finished the quest relating to him in Skyrim, so the whole thing was a bit tragic and doomed from the beginning. Definitely enjoyed that experince.

Anncestors and the Dunmer was also really fascinating, but I never finished it.

I love the 2920 series. But most of the books are extremely interesting. :P

Varieties of Faith
The lusty argonian maid
Darkest Darkness
But the greatest of them all is one little three-paged book that upon opening made me laugh like a madman:
ABC's for Barbarians

A cabin in the woods...

An incident in Necrom.

I like them both but the former more than the latter.

I think my two favorite books in TES are Surfeit of Thieves and The Locked Room.

I thought the twist at the end of Surfeit of Thieves was pretty creepy! I liked The Locked Room because of Yana outsmarting her teacher.

The Red Kitchen Reader lovingly reeks of nostalgia.

Among other things.

This was actually TESO's most recent developer question, did anyone notice? I thought that was great. :D

Kolb and the Dragon- This was the first choose your own adventure story I had read in over 20 years. I thought it was great fun. Went through it until I did them all, just like elementary school!

The Red Kitchen Reader- I always wondered if it was meant to be a cannibal feast that the author partook of. Also, did the player get to find this place in Oblivion? I have only played Skyrim.

A Dance In Fire and Argonian Account- I think these two are my ultimate favorites, though. The main character is relatable and likeable. I look forward to an eventual third book about Decumus in Elsweyr.
