Your favorite ingame book

For a long while I never really read non-quest related books, but on a whim I decided to read the copy of Immortal Blood at the Ayleid well across from the Imperial Sewer exit. I was pleasantly surprised. For those who haven't read it, here's my favorite part, the ending:

 

"Now, tell me," he said. "Of the vampires of Cyrodiil."

 

I told him what I could. There was but one tribe in Cyrodiil, a powerful clan who had ousted all other competitors, much like the Imperials themselves had done. Their true name was unknown, lost in history, but they were experts at concealment. If they kept themselves well-fed, they were indistinguishable from living persons. They were cultured, more civilized than the vampires of the provinces, preferring to feed on victims while they were asleep, unaware.

 

"They will be difficult to surprise," Movarth frowned. "But I will seek one out, and tell you what I learn. And then you will tell me of the vampires of High Rock, and Hammerfell, and Elsweyr, and Black Marsh, and Morrowind, and the Sumurset Isles, yes?"

 

I nodded, knowing then that this was a man on an eternal quest. He wouldn't be satisfied with but the barest hint of how things were. He needed to know it all.

 

He did not return for a month, and on the night that he did, I could see his frustration and despair, though there were no lights burning in my chapel.

 

"I failed," he said, as I lit a candle. "You were right. I could not find a single one."

 

I brought the light up to my face and smiled. He was surprised, even stunned by the pallor of my flesh, the dark hunger in my ageless eyes, and the teeth. Oh, yes, I think the teeth definitely surprised the man who could not afford to be surprised.

 

"I haven't fed in seventy-two hours," I explained, as I fell on him. He did not land the first blow or the last.

 

So, what are your favorite ingame books?

Although it doesn't contain any stories, my favourite would have to be 'Tamrielic Lore', I enjoy reading through it and trying to create the weapons for myself. :thumbsup:
