[quote="Lost Ghost"I assume people here would reccommend it?[/quote]

I know that John Ronald Ruel Tolkien would, if he was alive and hangin' about at AF......


Yeah, read it. Parts of the Beowulf saga was inspiration for The Hobbit, so if you liked the tale of "There and Back Again", undoubtedly you'll enjoy that too.

absolute best site on the subject. my *good friend* of times past Meridith worked on this while doing research assistance at UC Berkeley Nordic lagunage studies. She has read all the Sagas in the original Nordic Skaldi since she was a young hottie... MAn I miss my old coffee shop Wall Berlin.

Kind of half and half on this one. Parts look stunning while some of it looks like a video game. Color me interested though.
