   If you are interested in the Norse myths and legends - and there's lots   
   of fun stuff in them - there are many versions available.  They are   
   mostly just translations of Snorre's writings and the few other written   
   sources, so they are mostly the same (unless you go for one of the more   
   academic books).  You should find Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology" easily   
   available.  (I was a little disappointed in that, actually - I had hoped   
   for more from him, given his other works.  But as a re-telling of the   
   traditional Norse myths, it is quite solid.)
