I didn't write this, I only discovered it here, as collected and assembled by tumblr user fenharelmaghilana, as posted: Here. They did an astonishing amount of work on this and I appreciate it wholeheartedly, if you have a tumblr, please like/reblog them.
Copied in it's entirety, with some formatting adjustments (by me) for readability. Items by
Brother Genitivi (i.e. most of the codex entries in the game) are in green,
banned works are in red, unknown authors are in blue, and
Varric's works are in purple. I attempted to alphabetize it and gave up rather quickly. I may return to it at a later date.
A list of every book ever mentioned in every codex entry ever in Dragon Age. Beware, it’s really long. Authors are listed when known, and books that have been banned by the Chantry are noted as such.
