Heimskringla was one of the best finds of the year for me. History comes alive through the writings of Snorri Sturluson. I have read it a couple times and still find things I missed before. Although this book is out of print, it is available by other translators (ISBN #0-292-73061-6), and well worth the money for pure enjoyment as well as for research.
