I loved Norse Mythology by Gaiman, but there are others readable versions of norse epics.
For example, Children of Odin[0] is in the public domain, there are free english audiobooks, and is very enjoyable. There is some version with very nice drawings too :)
Personally, I enjoyed Gilgamesh' epic a lot through its analysis in a mythology class[1]. It is a fantastic story anyway.
