This is originally a thread I made over at Bethsoft on the 25th of January 2010, once again at chorrol in 2015 and now I thought it could be fun to bring it over here. We could talk about some of the books we´ve found in-game that we were particularly fond of. Or not ;) I made a list of my favourite books and I´ll re-post it here: 1. A Game at Dinner 2. Immortal Blood 3. Ruins of Kemel-Ze 4. The Black Arrow series 5. The Argonian Account series 6. Surfeit of Thieves 7. Ransom of Zarek 8. Daughter of the Niben 9 The Armorer´s Challenge 10. Master Zoaraym's Tale I found one book in 2014 and one in 2015 that I´d like to add to this list: 11. The Importance of Where 12. Purloined Shadows In my opinion these are all great books. What are your favourites? |

I became particularly fond of the 2920 series, once I was able to read all the volumes in order. Additionally, A Dance in Fire and The Argonian Account were quite entertaining. Decumus Scotti had a way of finding himself in unusual sorts of peril. Ransom of Zarek- also funny. Of course the portrayal of the intellegence, (or the relative lack therof), of Nords was entirely inaccurate. :cheers: Edited by Kohlar the Unkilled, Oct 19 2016, 01:27 PM.

Think I´ve only ever found A Dance in Fire v.2, are there more that I´ve just missed? |

I couldn't tell you where you can find them (but the UESP sure can!) but there's seven volumes in total. Gotta say I too love the adventures of Decumus Scotti. Helps that they were the few bits of lore we had on Valenwood and Black Marsh for a while. I also have to add The Exodus (by the same in-universe author) to that, since I happened upon it while doing the Mages Guild questline. Not going to lie, I was a little more on the Necromancers' side during the whole thing so that sort of influenced my opinion on the book. Actually, I have to say that anything by Waughin Jarth (along with the above, he also did Feyfolken, The Wolf Queen, and Purloined Shadows) is on my favorites list. I have to wonder whether it was a single dev or multiple ones writing the books. |

In Oblivion, there were seven volumes, all skill books, so unfortunately the Oblivion wiki has them organised by skill. In the Skyrim wiki, they put all books together in title order. Same books, same content. I believe that each in-game author is consistently the same real author, and there's a page somewhere at the Imperial Library that matches them up. Obviously the real life authors had more than one pen-name. Edited by ghastley, Oct 20 2016, 02:55 PM.

I reckon I must have stumbled upon most of them and just forgot about it. |

The Prophet Arden-Sul is quite interesting. Recently re-read this during my foray through the Shivering Isles. Tis a bit graphic; that Arden-Sul was a character. :beermug: |
