All of Skyrim's books are now available for your reading pleasure

by Jessica Conditt on Nov 26th 2011 2:30PM

Do you wish you could dedicate every moment of your life to Skyrim, dreading the seconds you have to leave the game to go to the bathroom, get Taco Bell or -- the absolute worst -- go to work and function in greater society? Fear not, intrepid Skyrimmer (ew), because now there's a way to take the game's lore on your iPad, iPhone, Nook, Kindle and other e-readers and tablets.

Capane.us has transferred all of the books from Skyrim into real fake book form, complete with a table of contents, headings and a cover. To download all of the Skyrim books, open this link in your reader of choice, click the download option and travel well forevermore. Or until you finish reading them all.

I see "Lusty Argonian Maid" makes a return.

@frr171
It's what I read before I go to bed.

@frr171

What can I say, she's REALLY good at polishing them spears and cleaning up carpets.

@frr171

It's hard to stop a Tamrielian best seller that's over 200 years old.

@Stevetrop Man of Mystery

dude i dont even....what are these sensations im feeling....

@PedoJokerBear Some call it love. I call it naughty lizard sex.

Guess I collected all these books in skyrim for nothing

Are they a good read? or only if you're totally into Elder Scrolls lore? I've played all the games, but don't think I'm a lore-addict though (i.e. haven't read any of the Elder Scrolls novels)

@BinaryTB They're not full books. Mostly up to like 6-7 pages

@BinaryTB
Theyre mostly just short stories and journnals. All of which are ...pretty short.

@BinaryTB

The standalone segments are well-written. I can't comment on the 7-parters since I haven't found all of them in sequence.

No need to worry about that now though! I'm glad that guy did this, cracks me up when I read this:

" I’ve even gone so far as to break into houses in the middle of the night just to read their books."

I probably would too if I had more lockpicks...it's a bit tougher than in Fallout 3.

@kentuckyfried But isn't it wonderful that they're now using that system? Of course, there was no way they would keep the Oblivion one, but the point remains. Despite being an apprentice, I've been able to successfully pick expert locks in Skyrim, and that's really appreciated.

@Prakras TCys

I'm glad they kept it, but I feel like I'm picking locks with wooden toothpicks. =D

Hope I don't run out of lockpicks. That happened in my first playthrough of Fallout 3 where I couldn't pick locks from lvls 14-20 b/c I couldn't find anymore for the longest time.

I made myself a rule that my character HAS to steal every book he comes across, regardless of difficulty or consequence. I have to houses full of books. I was (sorta) planning on reading them someday, but this will make it waaaay more worthwhile.

Also, If I were to go back in time a month and tell my Past Self that he would become so hopelessly addicted to a video game that he'd be reading the in-game literature in his spare time, Past Self would probably smother me with a plastic bag right there on the spot. He'd be right to do it, too.

@Father Of Noise

I also find it hard to relate to my past self.

I wonder how many people are going to download this purely just for "Lusty Argonian Maid".

@JMC611

+1

I actually found myself wishing there was an app or something like this for the things you pick up in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I'd read it all if it was in my phone

I started collecting them just because they looks cool and unique

Well its not like we couldnt already read them ingame and on UESP.

I'm surprised Bethesda hasn't sent them a cease and desist already.

@Faceless Troll
They won't it's free advertisement for them

Good resource if you'd like the books on your e-Reader. Also check out The Imperial Library, which has all the texts from all Elder Scrolls games plus a ton of notes and explanations from fan "librarians." http://www.imperial-library.info/

@neal young

thanks.

reading sucks. a huh huh uhuh uhuh huh.

Real men collect all the in-game books and read them from their personal library.

Cats of Skyrim is always a good read.

I have a similar projects at http://www.arcanaeum.com/

It has all the books in a simple, clean but stylistic format. Makes it easy to read the books on your laptop, tablet or phone.

Post of the year thank u jessica

There is a god. Ok, he lives as the embodiment of collective geeks' desire but nevertheless...
