What types of literature do you want to see in Skyrim?

[maskedbucklander]

What sort of books do you want to see/see more of in Skyrim?

 

History? Pantheon expository? Magic theory? Even more tales of thievery and betrayal? Series or singles? Adventurer journals, guidebook style skill books, poems?

 

I ask because one of the mods I'm working on is a clean and simple book mod, adding more of them to Skyrim, because there can never be enough. I'm aware of a few projects like this already out there, but I want to keep this one lore-friendly and entirely free of feature creep (for universal compatibility) and I intend to write all or most of the books myself. Obviously, I want to make a mod that the player base will find interesting and useful, so I come to you asking what you want to see more of.

 

I've included below my first six books, covering a variety of topics. To anyone who reads them, if you have a strong interest in or dislike of the topics/writing styles of any of them, I'm interested in any feedback. Don't want to make a mod that adds 100 uninteresting books to the game. Also, of course, if you note any errors or lore incongruencies, or think I've taken unfit liberties with any canon information, please let me know.

I have always loved reading the books in the ES games. One of the many endearing features. One topic you didn`t mention was Humor ... not enough of that.
