    I read em sometimes ONLY because i can read alot, i read alot of books at bed time, i read books in skyrim once i finish mines IRL and read the ones in skyrim, also its kinda like roleplay hehe as i'm getting book collections then reading em. Got a whole bunch of em in my house.

    I know may sound sad haha, i ain't a nerd i just read because i don't know much about skyrim/oblivion history you know? cause i learnt alot reading the books.. its fun.

    Yes or no. I say yes. (and if its bed time and want to read it, i use my Android Tablet for Ebook :D)

    I don't...and I'm ashamed to admit.

    It's mainly because I'm a father of two and don't get a chance to play often enough....so when I do get a chance to play, I want to play, not read books. I do wish I had more time to get more immersed in the game though...

    Depends on the type of book. Mythology and folk tales I'll read, plus anything that gives a quest. Anything else I'll sort of flip through first, and I'll read only if they're no longer than three or four pages.

    But read or not, I collect all books with the vague, half-hearted intention of someday reading them.

    I don't always have time to read the books, just want to get on with my quests and exploring. When there is a book i want to read, I write down the book title and go to :

    Lore:Books by Subject - UESPWiki

    I look up the book and read it when I am not on XBox playing.

    One of my most favorite books that I've read in Skyrim is called Lore:Flight from the Thalmor - UESPWiki I recommend anyone to read it :)

    In general I try to read as much as I can possible can, since I want to build up my knowledge about what goes on in the world of tamriel :)

    I'll have to look for that one. I enjoyed the various books about the Night Mother and the Dark Brotherhood.

    I'll read it if the title sounds intriguing, or if it's about something in the lore that I'd like to learn more about. I should stop judging books by their covers, though, because I've found some really interesting books so far, and who knows how many more I've passed up? I particularly liked Last Scabbard of Akrash.

    I am definitely a nerd and I read every book on there I can get my hands on lol I'm interested in a series called (I think) "The Return Song" and I just found a volume 57 from that series. It would take quite a while to find all those but hey what better way to spend my time lol XD

    I read them when I can. Skyrim is my first Elder Scroll game so I like learning about Tamriel and the story behind the game world.

    I do/did read some of the books to give a sense of history and depth to the world and to better understand it. But I haven't read nearly as much as I did in Oblivion where I was practically obsessed with reading every single book in the game cover to cover.

    Yep, I'm obsessed with collecting them and enjoy reading most (except the boring histories). I especially like the Mystery of Talara series and The Legend of Krately House.
