I read every book i could find. In most games where there are books i also collect them, so i can get as much backstory as i can. I think they are an awesome feature to have. Makes all the backstory to factions, characters, settlements etc. in the game optional and adds realism to the gameworld. Now about the voicing in the game. The cast was obviously small, i could recognize many voice actors after a while, but i think they did a very good job mostly, giving different characters different personalities. Never did this game feel a hackjob in the sound department like Oblivion for example. The only flaw with the voice acting aside from obvious lack of personnel in my opinion were a few weird accents and a few obvious wrongly pronounced words. Aside from that really impressive job. Kudos to your voice acting director (if you have one that is).
