This fantastic book, Sagas of Icelanders, by Robert Kellogg, a natural history of Iceland written in sagas of the Vikings and the first people to leave King Harold of Norway for this new land. Iceland was settled in 874. I'm on page 620 (whew!) out of almost 800 pgs, it really has been a good read especially to feel the real stuff generations have lived through. It's not a boring history book. It's stories passed verbally for 100's years, now in print.
