All lorebooks not being saved?

Firstly, let me just say; one of the primary draws to this world was the licensing of the lore.
Your right to show off the books I collected so diligently for my homes in Skyrim adds a flavor to adventure & ancestry that no other game will be able to develop in the forseeable future.

I was extremely dissapointed than, yesterday, to discover that "Shalidor's Library" ...The 'lore' section of your journal,

DOES NOT

keep track of each book you've opened.... Only the ones it deems important.

I don't need to tell you, bookshelves are scattered everywhere, & many are in combat situations (many of these situations have ridiculous respawn timers.
one can only surmise the reset timers are to allow people to access content when there are 30+ unrelated people scouring a dungeon at the same time. Either way, the result is an inability to "pause for the cause" & read a book that may or may not have been added to your library.

ALL books should be added to your library for later perusal.

I've been playing for over three weeks now;
all glows & other assists turned off,
...walking in dungeons to catch some respawns because people are bunny-hopping past me into every mob AS they appear...
& now I find that I have bypassed on six different characters; 30% of the lorebooks I've come across because I didn't have TIME to read them in the midst of a dungeon crawl.

This needs to be fixed for certain. ..Or am I missing something?

I'm fairly certain they're all supposed to show up there once you get Eydetic Memory, but I think that skill may be a little bugged (when I got the skill, I had no books available in most categories, despite knowing that I'd read plenty of them).

I am with you
I too was saddened to see that not all the books I had opened were available in my journal…. Sadly many MMO centric gamers (not all but many) are all about getting to level cap just as fast as they can to do what to them is the most important part of any game... the end game content

Are we talking about the same thing?

Those books should become available with Eydetic Memory. If they aren't, it's because there may be a bug with that ability. But the game does allow you access to these books.

While I agree with your actual post, it gets lost on me by your insult of other players that don't share your feeling on how to play.

Not everyone has to play the game from their wing backed chair and smoking jacket to be having fun.
