Any good books?

Recommended Posts

So two days ago I found out that you can read the books that are laying around in houses by putting them in your hands.

What are some good books that you guys have found to read when waiting for someone or having a little rest?

I read Ulesses in the forrest on my own... Twas fun listening to the birds and the quiet, reading, while the sun goes up.

Crime and Punishment is the only one I found that I enjoyed (in real life anyway. Don't have the patience in-game to read that particular book)

 

I did find Frankenstein once though, which I wanted to read but it was ruined so I couldn't do anything with it unfortunately.

Can't wait till we get tents and campfires back in the game. Imagine spending a quiet evening reading some public domain classics :)

I started Heritage of the Sioux, but I lost it and haven't found another copy yet.

 

Another interesting thing about books is that you can put one on your quick bar and read it while unconscious. Good way to take up the time, considering you die if you log out.
