Would tomes of knowledge return in D3?

I wonder if those books that were present in Diablo 1 in a great number will make a return to tell the story, and expand our knowledge of the mythical story of the Sanctuary.

Although it's been more than 10 years I still remember some of the most memorable texts from those books, like the one about the "halls of the blind". These tomes were f$%^ing awesome, and they made a chill go through my spine back then.

Q u o t e:
Agreed, and I do think they were going to put in that "voiceover while you kill".

It's already in. There were three or so tomes you could pick up in the BlizzCon demo. You could keep fighting while lore was delivered audio-book style, with a nice little interface to go with it.

Q u o t e:
If they do return, I want that same guy to read them. His voice was awesome for narrating them.

If the Leoric journals are any indication, they may each be read by the character that wrote them. A generic narrator may not be necessary if that's the case.
