wgaf 251 Posted January 2, 2014 Much as in real life, in the game I have developed an interest in collecting books. Does anyone else have a similar interest in this game? Down the road, when the work of the Medical Division is finished and the game is fleshed out, I plan to find a home in some lovely part of the countryside where I can settle down, hunt animals, entertain weary travelers, and store a collection of rare and interesting books. I know it's unlikely the books I find now will survive until then, but I've been making a bit of a mental list based on the ones I find, and I am diligent about searching book spawns for new titles. It's really the only other thing I do besides Medical Division work. I've found a volume which includes a selection from the Mahabharata, the extraordinarily long Hindu religious epic, a copy of l'Enfer, which means "hell" in French, and several other interesting titles. I am given to believe copies of the bible exist, and along with the Mahabharata volume, I am lead to wonder whether there are also copies of the Talmud and the Quran. Has anyone spotted other interesting books? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidcactus 719 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I'm going to write my own book in game and it shall be titled " liquidcactus's story time from the old world "..it will probably be more like a detailed pamphlet..

green_machine 179 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I'd like to see some Military books, detailing strategies for infantry, vehicles, armoured vehicles, tank etc etc. They are out there, I have an book called "Iron Fist", detailing Tank warfare in WWII. I'd also like to read a LOTR book.If it's raining, I'll lock-down a house and read. If I'm injured, I'll do the same after eating a bounty of food. anybody else find reason to read? other than just to do it..

fig0451 85 Posted January 2, 2014 I've run across the Magna Carta, the Origin of Species and the New Testament among others. What I really want to find is that damned English to Cyrillic guide! At this point I think I've learned maybe 1/3 of Cyrillic characters from road signs lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mutonizer 78 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I did find a bible in a church though I have to admit I didn't actually read it but quickly tossed it away. That said, after playing a bit today, I picked up a copy of Alice in Wonderland and for some reason, just found myself sitting my character in a quiet spot in the forest near a lake and started reading, with the forest sound in the background... :) It was VERY relaxing after the stress of moving around in DayZ. LOVE that they put books in there. I read a lot in real life already, but never really gave a chance to many of the classics. For sure gonna do it now :) tip:to read a book in game, put it on your hotkey bar and press the relevant number. It'll take a second or two to load the thing properly usually.

Mutonizer 78 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) You guys are fine with books but not guitars because the have no point.. *shakes head* Musical instruments in game with Numpad 1 to 9 notes activation would be kind of awesome actually. Make it playable while walking or standing still/sitting and you can end up with travelling minstrels and whatnot! Plus, you can shoot annoying musicians, something I ALWAYS wanted to do :) Edited January 3, 2014 by Mutonizer 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bearserk 57 Posted March 20, 2014 I found the Frankenstein book. I thought I remembered someone here wanting it.
