I read the books that grant skill increases so I can see what the story has to do with the skill. They are not Edgar Allen Poe but they are entertaining to read.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.

I'm a manic/obsessive reader. Yes, I read them all >_>

Nearly all the books in Oblivion are a small subset of the books that you can find in Morrowind. And if you want to read those, check out The Imperial Library. It includes all the Morrowind books.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Haven't read them all yet but I do read them. Some of the stories are quite amusing (the Lusty Argonian Maid is hilarious). Personal favorite was reading the "Biography of Berenziah" series and them the "Real Berenziah" series and getting the same story from two widely different points of view.
Can the answer to this question be "No"?

I read some of them, but they come across as dull. Ignored getting any books after that. :p
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
