The Sagas of Icelanders

[TheFifthElement]

Let's discuss the Icelandic sagas! Please share your thoughts here :)

Link to the Scandinavian and Icelandic Literature thread (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63926) in case anyone wants more info.

The Eddas are an interesting collection of stories. Much of the Prose Edda is clearly historical, but there are good reasons to believe that the Elder Edda is also based on historical facts.

:willy_nilly:Aghhh, I thought we were going to keep it all in the same thread?

Never mind, I suppose it would work in this separate one as well. Whatever's best, probably a good idea anyway.

We are discussing Icelandic Sagas, particularly taken from this book:

And coffee consumption...

We will give you a few days/week to buy or steal it and work up to at least ten cups of coffee a day and then we are going for gold.
