You're asking this in the Lore forums? TES books are sacred to these people :P

I mean, this is the lore forum.

I definitely haven't read every book yet, but I read every one that I see while playing the games, and additionally read some more online.

I like reading books in-game. In fact I like it so much, I even made http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1071169-cyrodiil-library/page__fromsearch__1about it :)

I once had a Morrowind character whose custom class I named "Book Collector," and whose entire purpose was to seek out and take (whether through purchase or theft) as many books as could be found. Granted, I have never been very good at world exploring (I'm trying to change that, these many years later), so I was lucky to find the rarer books, but I spent many an hour in Jobasha's Rare Books in Vivec, I have to say. I also killed many, many people who happened to have books that I had not found yet, since I had no Sneak skill and I wasn't about to let the guards keep the thing if I was going to be arrested over it...

That plan failed when I realized that some of my collection was disappearing when I put it in chests and wardrobes and such. At that point, I gave up. I have since found the UESP and Imperial Library collections, anyway, so I don't need to find them all in-game.

I've read just about everything with the exception of the books about Barenziah, and possibly a few of the Sermons, because I've only ever read those in-game, and it's difficult to collect them all in order.

This. But I greatly prefer to read them at the Imperial Library. My TV is horrible and I can't really make out text very well. Oh. I should point out that I play on a console :P

Yes, most - there are some I never got very far into, and thereafter recognised as ones to not read. And I've now advanced(!) to the next stage and written some of my own, though rubbish.

Every time I play Morrowind and come across one of the Lessons of Vivec, I stop for a while to page through it again.
