Especially Hárbarđsljóđ, often had to LOL while reading it
When I was in the bookstore buying the Edda, I spotted a copy of the
Kalevala as well. Great epic poem which I can really recommend. Much more so an epic than the Poetic Edda, because whereas the Edda is a collection of often unrelated poems, the Kalevala tells one story.
