I would like to know more about Norse mythology. Of course people would say "read the Eddas", but I don't know Icelandic and I'm not going to put my time to it in the near future, and I don't want to read it translated.
So does anyone know a good book that summarize the gods, myths, etc?

Just listen to the myths and legends podcast episodes where he tells the stories of the Völsung saga. That should give you the plots at least. Then once you've got the flavour you can go off and read up on the deitis/heroes which most interest you.

He's also delightful to listen to.

From the North
I call Thee forth
O mighty Odin

Lord of the spear
Fettered by fear
Curse all those
Who do oppose our fight
