Kohlar the Unkilled
Time for some ale
I read a LOT. This thread is dedicated to books that are either similar to Skyrim, or remind you of the game for some reason. I'm making the thread because I read mostly sci-fi. I've read almost no fantasy, simply because I'm afraid I'll find it ridiculous and am afraid to invest the time.
By far, my favorite series of books, are Bernard Cromwell's "Saxon Tales." In these books, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a saxon raised as a dane, conquers and kills, drinks mead and ale, and is essentially the nord that Kohlar the Unkilled is based upon. This series of books is so awesome that I recommend them to all of my Skyrim companions here on this forum. I should add that these books are ground in historical truth, so although the character of Uhtred is fictitious, his tale runs parallel to that of the making of England itself, with historical facts and real characters such as Alfred the Great, Ivar the Boneless, and many others. These are NOT fantasy. Please read these and put your feed back on this thread. I'll look forward to the discussions.
Please post any other recommended reading here as well.
