As it so happens, Neil Gaiman is about to release a book of Norse Mythology, but it doesn't come out until Feb. 7th.

I recommend Neil Gaiman - Norse mythology
I bought both book and audiobook.
There's actually one called Norse Mythology.
Is this the same book as “Norse Mythology” by Neil Gaiman?
I'm enamored with it all. Its the perfect amount of creativity and awe, because there was never a "bible" for Norse stuff, its literally a collection of tales and stories that have been recovered, translated (sometimes), and really just open to interpretation in a few cases. Its structured enough to define the characters and environments, but missing enough to leave enough room for creative stories.
If you are interested, I'd highly recommend Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
I know this is not what you asked for but i highly recommend reading this book to learn more about Norse mythology :)
Here!
Not totally related, but Neil Gaiman's new book Norse Mythology is fantastic and makes the movies even more enjoyable for me. You pick up lots of little stuff like why Odin has one eye and why Mjolnir has a short handle. You can also see where the movies get shit wrong (or maybe I could say "take artistic license"), which can be kind of fun, too.
I have only read Danish and Norwegian books on the subjects. With that said, /u/joseph4th recommended a book that will be published the 7th of February titled Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman.

If you can read Norwegian I recommend http://www.nb.no/nbsok/nb/67868483fb07a70a58ad1cff8ec8c677#109
btw, quick and fun read if anybody is interested in a lot of the ship names and the background.

If you want to read about Norse mythology and about the sagas too I'd wait a couple of days and get Neil Gaimans new book!

I'm super excited to read it
Playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. Almost at the end on Chapter 19, but I'm doing the Great Challenge cases to unlock [spoiler](#s "the royal knights"). Even if some evolution conditions for Megas are a bit annoying to satisfy, I've been enjoying these past few chapters.
I ordered Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman earlier this week so I'll be reading that next week or the week after that.
This is pretty close
Mythology does not apply to the movie... However Neil Gaiman did write Norse Mythology that has all the juicy stories from Thor's cross dressing, Goddeses pimping themselves out to dwarves for jewelry, and Thor fighting an old woman and losing. Good Norse Mythology.

I got $75 in Amazon gift cards yesterday, so I went and bought some books! (Shocking, I know)
First off is Fire & Blood. I do not need to say anything about that.
The Hanged Man: A Story of Miracle, Memory, and Colonialism in the Middle Ages looks to be a really interesting book examinging how a hanged man's supposed resurrection examines the crossover between Medieval religion, colonialism, and cultural exchange.
I mostly just read medieval fantasy, so Promise of Blood looks like a good way for me to see the other type of fantasy out there.
Oh, and Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology looks like a hell lot of fun.
No idea when I will get to reading any of this. I have just started on Chronicles of the Black Company, and I have a small pile of unfinished books I need to get through. Ah well, the reader's life.

I absolutely recommend Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology especially so the audible form Audible Book as it's so entertaining to hear it read by the author, either way it's infinitely intriguing the stories that have been told and passed down thorughout human history.
Happy birthday! I hope you've been having a fantastic day!
I have so many books on my wish lists, it's hard for me to pick just one, but I can narrow it down to the top 3 I've really been wanting to read:
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
I love Norse mythology, history, language, religion and learning more about it, and from what I've read of Gaiman's, I enjoy his writing style.
S. / Ship of Theseus by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams
From the reviews it seems like a great book. There's the book Ship of Theseus, but in the margins and inserts there's a whole different story between two people trying discover the identity of the author of Ship of Theseus. It just looks like a fun book.
House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski
Another book I've heard great things about. I've heard it can be a difficult read with the unconventional format and footnotes etc.. But that just makes me want to read it even more.
All 3 are on my Most Wanted list.
Thanks for the contest!

He has a new collection of Norse Myths. It is his newest project and from what I hear it is great. Here is a link if you wanna get yourself a copy! https://www.amazon.com/Norse-Mythology-Neil-Gaiman/dp/039360909X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1486572491&sr=8-1
I am gonna start with American Gods since I am gonna reread what I have. I wish I had the anniversary, Ive never been able to read the changes He made either. Trigger Warning is good. His short stories are great!
Hemsworth, so dreamy... Ragnarok looks amazing.
But yes, been a fan of Norse mythology and Thor since childhood. I do recommend Neil Gaimans retelling of Norse Mythology if you're a fan. It's fun to see where it all came from.
Hey! Not a problem at all; I'm happy to rec stuff for you, especially on a subject I know quite well.
In terms of fiction, there are several fairy tale and mythology-based works. Most of these are going to be fairy tales because that's what I tend to read, but there are some mythology and folklore-based ones scattered around in here too:
Books:
Also if you're looking for something that's obvious but totally not at the same time: Tolkien. You want Tolkien. If you haven't read the Silmarillion, read the Silmarillion.
Comic Books and Webcomics:
TV Shows/Animation:
Movies:
Anyway, after blowing through all of those recs and still having plenty more, I'm coming to the realization that I read/watch entirely too many fairy tale/mythology/folklore-based media. Lol.
