I've read most of it, but I haven't read his battle with the dragon. Maybe I can add it to the list.

What's the essential dragon lit? Beowulf, the Nibelungenlied, Saint George and the Dragon, the Hobbit...?

A little ashamed to admit I've never read the story but it's one of my favorite films

T.BH, I'm a fan of John Gardener's "Grendel" myself.
