I'm interested in reading a book about Norse mythology, whether its a collection of stories or information related. Any suggestions?

The Eddas were written by Christian monks in the 13th century, two-hundred years after the end of the Viking Age.
They tell more about the changes the north were going through at the turn of the century and the ways medieval scholars were schooled than they tell about Norse mythology.

encyclopedia of mythology is what Ive got. not sure if thats what you would want or not
Norse Mythology is old. Why would you be interested in it? It's overused, overdiscussed, and, to be true, quite depressing in itself from the get go.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean that it isn't interesting. Having a good knowledge of Norse Mythos helps a lot with understanding literature. Norse legends and tales have influenced opera, plays, and novels of all kinds.

Wagner has influenced opera, not Norse mythology. Else, one might say that the history of Denmark has the most influence on theatre, or something, you know.
