While quest text in Skyrim always felt a bit flat, there are little bits of lore hidden in all of the books you find. And a few jokes.

I have to give Bethesda credit for "The Lusty Argonian Maid" (https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lusty_Argonian_Maid...), which always gives me a laugh when I stumble upon it in a bandit cave. There are some genuinely good short stories in books scattered about the game, too.
