I really like the in-game conversations between party members as well; some of them are quite amusing (when the main character teases Taar about having a crush on Tehruth, for example). As for the books, I was very pleased that DS2 expanded on the idea beyond what existed in DS1. It does add more cultural depth to the game, and helps explain some of the situation that you would otherwise only have vague hints about from dialogue with "the Azunite Scholar" and Valdis himself. For example, reading the books reveals (in combination with info gleaned from dialogue) that Valdis was a Prince of the Northern Reaches, from a different branch of the family than Eva, and gives some background on his character that adds to what you get from dialogue.
