You don't need to keep books. Once you open them you'll either learn the spell, skill, or get the quest. After that you can dump the book or sell it.
Actually for spell tomes I think the book is used up by learning the spell.

A very spoilery question concerning the Companions. Do not read until you've been shown the secret room under the Skyforge

So after having The game exit straight to my desktop i went on another forum and lots of other people are experiencing the same issue.
Here's a fix that fixed everything for me. The game hates anything above 98HZ in audio. Turn it down to 48 or 44. 16 or 24 bit in windows control panel.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
After logging in 14 hrs 22min. this weekend this is without a doubt Bethesdas best game to date. I can't believe a game with such a small file size (7gb) could be this big and vast. I think i've only done two main quests and a few side quests so far.
This might be the first Bethesda game i actually finish
btw anyone catch the Northern Lights? Simply breathtaking

Maybe it's because Skyrim feels more like Fallout 3 to me. I wonder if the same team worked on both games.
Oh and I encountered my first dragon. Wasn't hard at all. I was expecting this epic battle. It took longer to kill a Mammoth.

yes they are...I almost took a pic...
I am 27 hours in, Game of the Year so far...really is amazing...
The main problem with the game is the load times. Would it have been so bad to be able to fast travel from inside a building? It forces you to go outside...load for 20 seconds...then pic your fast travel location....load 20 seconds..not that big of a deal if you are going to stay at your spot for a time, but if you are turning in a bunch of missions at once...it adds up...

The in-game "3D" map is fucking joke and absolutely useless for getting around, especially up a mountain with trails that go nowhere.

also clairvoyance has to be the worst spell of all time...I have followed that stupid path with only one objective highlighted and it takes me the wrong way, or to a dead end...lol..
I don't mind though some parts being hard to get to or having difficulty finding the right path because it is part of the fun...

I also don't like when you are buying from a vendor that it doesn't show your items on one side and theirs on the other so you can compare...too much back and forth.

I ended up picking this up for PC and have put in about 20 hours. Finished up the mage college quests and am working my way through the thieves guild. There are some great nods to Morrowind.
Now comes the excruciating work days where all I can think about is what missions I want to tackle when I get home.
