Is there any great book for nordic mythology out there? Something in the lines of Bulfinch's Mythology perhaps...

Read the Eddas and sagas instead of modern compilations.

for the same reason /lit/ commonly recommends ''Mythology'' by Edith Hamilton, I'd recommend Neil Gaiman's new book on Norse Mythology. Much valuable context is lost, and it's presented in a modern light, but the key events and storylines are there.
After that, move on to the source material and follow >>9423616 & >>9423644.

Don't ever do this.

They speak like comic book heroes.
