2015 Reading: The Prose Edda

This was just a really short little read in between things. I've been reading a bunch of books about Norse Mythology (I didn't credit any of them in the 2015 reading because I mostly skimmed them for the good bits and by 'good bits' I mean the parts about Loki) and this one is said to be the end-all-be-all of the tales of the gods.

Some of it can be a little confusing. I wish there were a timeline I could follow just straight forward instead of different tales that go over multiple time periods in one story, but that might be a bit much to ask for when thinking about Mythology. I like hearing about the things the gods did and the shenanigans they got themselves into by being stupid. It was a fun read.

I don't really know what I am going to read next, but I have some ideas.
