I love in-game books, as an immersive way of getting to know the lore (enjoyed reading them both in the Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age games!). And I would love to see more of them in BG3, like that collection of sea shanties or the little snippets from different adventure novels. A good way to give the players an incentive to read such books would be gaining a little bit of XP from it (Dragon Age Inquisition does that, while in TES, certain books increase your skills, and in Elder Scrolls Online, they also help you advance through the ranks of the Mages Guild). Or maybe a chance for a super-randomized inspiration point?
