I have yet to delve into the immense, dragon-filled realm of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, because I just don't have another 100 hours free to spend in a massive Bethesda RPG. For those Dovahkiin who like to peruse the local bookshelves to add some more background to their tale, but don't want to confined to reading them on just their rig, there is a better solution.
A Dragonborn literati known as Capaneus has put together a collection of the literary works found in Skyrim into a single file that can be uploaded to Kindles or various other eReaders. If you want to take The Last Scabbard of Akrash or The Legend of Red Eagle with you while on your morning commute or to your favorite pretentious coffee shop, then look no further.
[Thanks, Gantz]

There. Somebody had to say it.
Oh, and my favorite in game book so far is The Cabin in the Woods. Spooky!
@HEL105
Lol at running away from bears.
My wood elf archer is great for sneaking around and shooting people in the chest, not so handy when I come around a hill and there are two cave bears staring me in the face. Forget dragons, bears are the real menace in that game.
@HEL105
Forget bears, it's Giants. I've seen them wipe out entire Imperial camps, kill dragons without breaking a sweat and chase me for miles. Even at level 30 my plan to kill them is spamming fireball and praying I don't run out of stamina.
I can usually use dance around the giants and whittle them down with arrows, but the freakin mammoths almost always catch up to me from behind while I'm not paying attention to them and then either hit me a few times with their tusks and kill me or block my way so that the giants can splatter me.
Who else LOVES the bookshelf mechanic?!
I am that person.
Don't feel bad. Out of the egregious amount of time I've logged in Skyrim that I will not disclose (read: too much) I've spent at least a quarter of it sitting around reading books/delving into the most inhospitable places in search of more stuff to read (because treasure is fucking heavy.)
There are lots of books in Skyrim. Get excited.
