> Yes yes yes, it is! I love Snorre Sturlason. The book I have includes various extracts from his Edda. (Loki and Svašilfari, Frey and Skirnir, Skaši's Marriage, Žor and Utgarša-Loki, and the Doom of the Gods.)

Every school kid in Norway learns about Snorre in Norwegian classes. Maybe that's why most of us don't read much of it later; too many bad associations. I don't remember much of it now, sadly, but I'll have to read it as a whole some time. [Adds Snorre to list of books to read.]
