Norse Mythology / Neil Gaiman / 299 pages

I never knew a thing about Norse Mythology other than what little Norse Mythology you get from Marvel's Thor. This book, which I listened to in my car, narrated by the author himself, really taught me a lot about Norse Mythology. 

It's so interesting how similar myths from Greece, Rome, the Pacific Northwest, and in Scandinavia really resemble each other. For those who like this sort of thing, this book is for you. The stories are short, like most myths are, so you can read them in bite-size chunks. Be prepared to learn what Marvel got wrong about Thor, Odin, and Loki. You are going to meet a whole lot more gods and goddesses, giants, and other monsters and learn about how Thor got his hammer, Mjolnir - how Odin lost his eye - how the universe was created - and much more!
