Icelandic sagas are fun reading and great literature. You get to peek into another time period where law and morals where quite different and savage hero's rage with both sharp tongues and swords

Njal's Saga deserves to be regarded as a classic of world literature. It's full of compelling scenes, and dramatizes the how the desire for revenge just leads to an endless cycle of revenge.
