Ask the dead

I know Neil Gaiman recently published a book on Norse mythology not too long ago

Read The Poetic Edda

Oh shit, that's right. I want to read that but I haven't even really gotten started on Neverwhere...

Yeah, pretty sure the Poetic and Prose Eddas are required reading.

Gaiman's book is decent, but it's really just a retelling of some of the myths in his own way.

The best way to get a taste for Norse myth is to read the sagas, the Prose Edda, and most importantly, the Havamal. Everything else is reconstruction or fabrication.
