The Prose Edda Tales from Norse Mythology
Here's two off the top of my head that are pretty great:
Viking Age Iceland is a GREAT primer on, well, Viking Age Iceland :)
The Sagas of Icelanders is a nice entry level compilation of sagas and thaettir (excluding the amazing Njal's Saga unfortunately) that got me into the Icelandic sagas.
