I stand in front of the barrel in Red Petal and see the lorebook : Time to face reality", but apparently can't pick it up. More people have problems with this?

    You can pick it up but it's extremely difficult to do so. I was able to by looking down toward the bottom of the barrel and barely adjusting my mouse until I could get it. Took some finagling. Likely a bug.

    There are lore books in the scroll temples in Cyrodiil like that-- they're on the floor underneath their pedestals or tables and it's seemingly impossible to interact with them. I did manage to target one of them, but wasn't able to duplicate the feat on other characters.

    There's quite a few books that have just managed to phase through objects over the years, and you'd never know they were there if you hadn't collected it on a previous character. There's one book in Shadowfen that is almost invisible unless you go to a very specific angle.

    If a book is under a pedestal or something similar just log out and log back in. It will make them appear in their indented place and you can read them.

    thanks for all the answers and indeed, out and login and a lot of twisting with the mouse and hopla: I could pick it up.

    Yes, I've tried for these many times, but only ever gotten them on the faction that owns the Temple when the gate was closed and I had plenty of time to futz with it. Sure would like them on my main, though.

    I have tried many times to read that specific book, can't get the angle right.

    Fortunately, I think many lore books can be found in multiple zones, and I think reading them in one zone gives you credit for reading them in any other zones as well.

    Edit: I know this one is unique, though.
