ejrathke 's review for:

The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson
5.0

Surprisingly enjoyable to read. Readability is not often something that goes with thousand year old stories, but I found the stories somewhat absurd and funny.

The first section of the book is a dialogue between a man and gods, which is more similar to the catechism than it is to a Socratic dialogue, though that may be too specific a reference for some people.

Anyrate, it's very good.
