I knew from my sister that the man was going to attack you partially into the play so I didnt bother to read the entire thing. I was in Sadrith Mora in the Tel Naga Great Hall and found the book and decided to read it. The story was great, with a nice twist at the end. I was wondering if and of you have read the entire story or just read part of it, or if you have read it but forgot it.

If you are asking if there is another part to the book, the answe is no. "Horror" is a one-part story.

Nah, I just read as far as I thought I needed to go for the play to work. But As far as reading whole books goes I've read Mixed Unit Tactics and... geeze what was it...uh... huh.gif Well I cant think of the titles at the moment but if I do I'll edit it in. Something to do with necromancy I think...it had 4 books to its series... any help would be appreciated... <> I think thats part of what makes Morrowind so great. All the books that they took the time to write and place and with all the different topics. Because they could have just made books unreadable and saved themselve some time but they went the next step. God I'm a nerd... bleh.gif

I think I have read most of the books at one time or another. I can't say the lessons of Vivec make much sense to me but many of the others have amusing or creepy tales. It can be difficult to make sense of the really long ones (2920 or whatever it's called for example) because you come across them in random order. But as FB says, good for Bethesda for taking the trouble to make them so detailed.

I know its just the one part. I ment did you just read like half the book and drop it?

I've only read like 4 books all the way through in Morrowind.

I read the whole book out of curiousity, for a minute i thought i was going to have to reenact the whole play....glad i was wrong.

The only series I have read is Posion Song. I thought it was a pretty good story, i read the first book and liked it enough that i searched all over Morrowind killing and stealing from the unfortunate people that happened to harbor the books (i did all this on my vampire character so i wasn't worried about the consequences).

i've read through the entire horror of castle zyr as well as most of the lessons of vivec. my last character had a library and i made it a point to have one copy of every book in the game.... needless to say it took 2 houses in balmora happy.gif

i've read through maybe 20 - 30 of the books though. i liked the one about the thief and the strong stupid guy.

I read nearly all of the books (and pieces pf paper) i find, and then drop the ones i don't need. I most enjoyed "a dance in the fire" - the one about the two building contracters in the forest. There are 7 parts (all on sale in Joshaba's book shop), but are worth reading.

I collect books, used a mod (vault of hording mod) and stored all of the books in one of the massive chests. I must have had about 40 books - all of them i have read. I must be mad!!!!! blink.gif

Flightless, might it be corpse preperation - it is the only necromancy book i have have found with more then one part. It was in Svorkild the Raven's evil tower near Dagon Fell. There is a quest to kill him if you follow the legion quests. The important nord guy in ebonheart gives it to you.

Yep! Thats what it was! Thanks dude, I was totally blanking on the name...
poster_stupid.gif I Think I would like to read some more books, just for the heck of it. Go Bethesda!
nickleback04
gee, it wos nothin... blush.gif

can anyone recommend any good reads??
Dinin
There was one story that i think had 2 parts to it.

It's making me mad that i can't remember the name, but the story was about a man who fell in love with a woman who was killed, and he tried to conjure her back from the dead. (i can't tell you what happens at the end, but it's a real good twist)

Anyways, if someone knows the name of this book, please say it.. I think i might have found the book in a telvanni tower, not sure which one.

So...yeah..i recommend this book that i don't know the name of....
eviljim
I would recommend the entire 36 lessons of vivec. it's a pretty good story and gives you alot of insight into the background of the area. also, several of the things you run across during the main quest will make a little more sense.
nickleback04
flightless, u know what u said about corpse preperation....

I thought it only had three parts? I only read 3 books, so if there is a fourth one, where can i get?
FlightlessBird
Eh, I was being dumb again. Heck I couldnt even remember the name let alone how many books. But I could have sworn that there was 4 lying around somewhere in Vvardenfel. I think there was one in Sorkvilds the Ravens house but you know, I was being dumb. I'm glad I dont have wings. I'd probably lose them... happy.gif
Adras
All four can be found in the Necromancer's tower outside of Dagon Fel. But you gotta pick your way through the uglies first.
eviljim
corpse preparation only has 3 volumes. the third volume however can be found in an open and also closed variety happy.gif
hooray4morrowind
The first time I went to Mournhold, the first quest (I dont know how) that I ran across was this one, with the Horror play...

I thought you had to memorize the whole book! I was going NUTS trying to memorize the whole book wacko.gif

Finally I decided to save, and try the play, when i thought i had it pretty good, and it ended up I only needed a little bit of the play blink.gif after spending about 3 hours trying to get the play good enough..

Figured, the only lines I didn't look very close at were the first ones...so i got all of them wrong and had to reload like 12 times...

And now i memorized the first few lines of Castle Xyr!

Oh and for the other topic, I only read like 2 books throughout the whole game, Castle Xyr, and the Yellow Book of Riddles...I only read the yellow book a little and threw it down, because I thought it was useless, but figures, it was useful for something, afterall ohmy.gif

Chances Folly ( shiftyph34r.gif ) is quite good, if anyone have read it yet...
It too has a good twist at the end...

is that the one about the thief and the strong guy?
Tchan
Yup... mellow.gif
eviljim
like i said, i've read most of the books and that's one of my favorites.
Mesame
God, I swear I have looked all over and I can not find a copy of Vampires of Vardenfell II anywhere. Its so annoying, I've gone to every single book store I know of and even went to Todd's Test Cell and I still cant find a copy, I'll never be the Archmage without it angry02.gif
Tchan
I think Jobasa in Foreign Quarter has one... huh.gif
Is it one of Skink-in-three-shades quests?
Mesame
yea not that t really matters anymore, its still availiable but for some odd reason I went to talk to Trebonious and he was kinda psycho about me taking his place O.o
Tchan
Have you challenged him yet?
Did it without taking any damage.
Madcap_Magician
I don't remember the title, but my favorite book is the one about a courtesan who is a spy... and the king he's spying on plays a trick to catch spies... saying he's poisoned all the food of disloyal courtiers, and the antidote is in a bowl on the table. It's got a GREAT twist... gogo Bethesda!
Adras
If you remember the name of the book, please share! That sounds really good.
Abramul
That would be Incident in Necrom. I'm trying to collect ALL the books, and any I find that aren't part of a series, I read on the spot.

EDIT! actually, it's A Game at Dinner, there's a copy in Trebonius's room
CrazyGilbert
My favourites are The series The Real berenziah there are I think like 6 of them too, the series can be found all over morrowind, this is a really good series telling of the story of barenziah the queen of mournhold. its really good and all about straw getting his tongue cut off....and how barenziah dressed like a boy to get across the border as a merchant escort
The_Collecter
lol, i had my brother write all my line from castle xyr to a piece of paper. he was pretty mad when the guy attacked me and the play was cancelled.
