HAHAH! I own more than half those books, in paper. Only one audiobook on my iPod. Working on replacing my paper library with electronic books for my Kindle.. lots lighter to carry around.
Since I've only got one audiobook, I'd recommend listening to "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. :-D
PS: We both love the younger edda --I think, after studying so much norse history, a lot of us westerners identify with it so much because the philosophies embodied in that collection of tales are, essentially, what make up most of our culture. However, I'm not at all certain that Snorri Sturluson was faithful to the culture he was codifying, you know? I mean, he was a Christian monk, wasn't he? I dunno.. but the stories are great. :)
Regardless of the authenticity of Sturluson's text, yes they are great stories. My greatest joy right now is experiencing the transformations of the stories throughout time as they filter through different storytellers. The transition from Volsung to Wagner to Tolkien and Looney Toons has my brainy bits teeming with excitement.
Once I have finished my current audio book I will listen to David Sedaris. After your response I looked him up and I think I will like him. Thanks for the recommendation.
