Re: Favorite Book
So many interesting books I haven't read yet.
But trust me, the eight books of "The Wolf Queen" story are amazing. (Queen Potema story).

I've grown to love The Black Arrow over the years.
Because there's no fun to be found in being normal.

Re: Favorite Book
I am blown away that these books are actually read. It never dawned on me to read them. I collect them and sell them. I figured why kill my limited time to play vids by reading a book in a vid. I will have to check out a few of these.

Re: Favorite Book
Honnestly, I never (can't) read a book in game.
But some quest related stories worth to be read on UESP.

Re: Favorite Book
Mine is a classic from the Morrowind era. The Horror of Castle Xyr. It's only recently that I read it all the way through though.

I love the Eslaf Erol series of Beggar, Thief, Warrior, and King. I don't normally do fiction books but I liked these ones.

Oh my favorite book is one of Cicero's journals. He is so funny. Just the insanity is hilarious.

But being honest, Sacred witness sent chills down my spine.
I can't believe no one mentioned Hallgerd's Tale
I'm a fan of Tavi Dromio's books as well(Garaz,Xiomara and Hallgerd are just awesome).
To make a quick list:
The Locked Room
Vernaccus and Bourlor
Bone I & I I
Hallgerd's Tale
and may more

while none of these books are Skyrim only, they are probably some of, is not, the most important to the ES lore, and are my favorite.
A special shout-out to the 36 lessons of Vivec, and Variates of Faith in the Empire, though not in Skyrim, are still just as important.

Re: Favorite Book
I just found my first ever copy of Ahzirr Traajijazeri.
It was obviously written by a long-time cat-owner in real life: The Khajiit mind is not engineered for self-reflection. We simply do what we do, and let the world be damned. To put into words and rationalize our philosophy is foreign, and I cannot guarantee that even after reading this, you will understand us. Grasp this simple truth -- "q'zi no vano thzina ualizz" -- "When I contradict myself, I am telling the truth."
Just goes to show you that whenever you think you've seen it all, you'll see something new.
