/lit/ - Literature

I recommend starting with Grettis saga, Burnt-Njals saga, Egils saga and Gisla saga. Read Poetic Edda if you want to acquaint yourself with with Norse mythology. Háva-mál deals with Nordic etiquette during the viking ages and Heimskringla recounts the sagas of the myriad of kings from the beginnings of Nordic culture.

There are plenty of Icelandic sagas and I really recommend starting with these I listed because the more obscure ones often deal with law-speak, family squabbles and often tedious dramas.

You should check out some of the icelandic sagas, for example : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egils_saga and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nj%C3%A1l%27s_saga.. They are mostly about revenge, honor, brutal kills and exaggerated characters with no clear morality, basically what viking culture is all about.

Hey there /lit/

So...I've started to become interested in Nordic mythology,folklore,culture,etc.
So,my question is...
What are some good books on these subjects?
