I've recently been reading all the books that level me up in skills that I use. A lot of them are pretty good. So, I decided upon a thread for listing your favorite books.


I like the 2920 series, even though I'm reading it all out of order. I don't like he Vivec sermons, though.

A single book I recently read that was really funny was Hallgerd's Tale.

Iknow what you maen my fav. are the ones on daedra like Azura stuff and all dat I want to understand why they will die for a friggin statue

All the Hallegard's series are very nice (Bone was positively grotesque though). The Wolf Queen series and some of the skill books are a little spooky, the 2920 series was great I agree, but my personal favourites should be The Mystery of Talara series and A Dance in Fire series.

Trust me, I HAVE read them all. Straight from the CS.

There are some prett graphic ones out there. I read one that described in detail how to cut a man's throat, what angle to slice with, and how to avoid being hit by the blood spray. It went into some pretty detailed forensic stuff, which was cool but slightly freaky. At least it improved my short blade skill... ;-)

Oh I forgot: The Real Barzeniah!

Especially the Daggerfall version here

i cannot remember the title, but i found it in Milk, it was about a marksman, and an evasive, cowardly daedra lord

I also loved confessions of a skooma eater, which i always have on a desk, along with some skooma, a pipe, and some empty skooma flasks

Hmm, can't quite remember the name, but it's the book about the orc's (yes I know there are more than one ) I mean the one where you learn medium armor up, it's something about an orc who defeats another one because wearing armor you could move quick in!

I don't have the patience to read the books. Though I wish I did. Someday, I will read them. (Though I have read a few, most of which I enjoyed. I don't remember the names though. )

yes the "a dance in fire series" is a good one, I know the book u read koree, it was nice but i like the book that the mage in al'durn sends you for. It tells you about how two groups were at war then one sends a golem to the other side as a peace offer then that side trys to figure out if it can be used for fighting. then the side that got the golem uses it to take over the side that gave it. but the golem doesnt fight. find the book and read it its good i think.

Chimvardium?

I like the the ones that detail baout the different kinds of Daedra, i think its darkest darkness or soemthign like that, or maybe Aedra and Daedra? oh well its pretty kool

Water Breathing, Chance's Folly, and the one about the contest between the Argonian Smith, and the Imperial Smith that raises light armour are all good. Water Breathing's last line is quite... (at this point I'm torn between chilling, dramatic, and ironic)

A Game at Dinner I enjoyed, Withershins was downright weird. But the book of Bosmer Riddles was hillarious (may have been Bosmer poetry, I don't know). The book where somebody is stealing apples is good, the one that raises light armour, one day I intend to read the brief history of the empire in the correct order.

At one point I tried to take The Armorer's Challenge to Sirollus Saccus in order to humiliate him.
Suffice to say that it didn't work.
How come Sirollus Saccus can live that long anyway?

A Game at Dinner was quite disturbing. The Rear Guard is the apple one, and I actually laughed out loud at the ending.

Am I the only one who has read Bone?

before i read this thread i never really read any books so i picked one up and it was good it was hypothetical treachery i found it in some shrine you have to go there for the templt its east of gnisis. i also found some corpse preparation books which were ok.

i'll keep reading to find more books

Well, I just read Bone with that link. That was definitely a bit weird.


Makes you wonder why he only got the armorer to make armor, though. Why not give them some defensive, or even offensive, weapons as well. Or just use a bow to take out the Nords.

Oh well, whatever.

sovngarde and aedrea and daedra are good...and ABC's for Orcs is kinda funny but stupid

ABC for [bold]Barbarians.[/bold]

Concerning Bone, the only bonemold weapon is the bow, and they may not have arrows left.

I meant why not do that before sending out slaves to get stuff. In the beginning they had steel for armor, and then leather for armor. This means they could've also made steel weapons, such as the bow, sword and spear, or even leather slings if it came down to it. Of course, the story of a guy who sat atop his castle sniping Nords is pretty boring. On the other hand, I'd rather have my marksman raised than my medium armor.

Now you know why those two other guys don't believe him.
