Most people aren't into reading stuff like that, so I guess it's to be expected. A pity, really -- there's some amazing stories to be had; my personal favorite is the one about Gunnlaug and Hrafn. Do you have a favorite, OP (or anyone else!)?

Yeah, it really shouldn't surprise me, but it still hits this weird "OH NOES" button for me.

I really enjoy The Sage of Burnt Njal. I actually haven't read the one you're referencing; I'll have to check it out!

*Saga, not Sage. D'oh.

I totally understand. I've gotten so jaded when it comes to stuff like this, but there are certain things that will set me aflame (Disney's version of The Jungle Book, for example).

Oh yes, that's a great one! I'm excited that you haven't read about Gunnlaug and Hrafn yet -- I really hope you'll like it! I've only read it in Swedish but I googled it real fast and it seems like it's known as Saga Of Gunnlaugr Serpent-Tongue in English.

Woot! I'm excited to read it. Thanks for the rec and for finding the English title! :)

Not OP, but for people who might hesitate to get into a story as long and dense as Njal, I think The Saga of Hrafnkel Frey's-Godi encapsulates a lot of saga themes in small compass.
