I'm looking for new sources of various things, so I'm going to start posting "Top Fives", asking for peoples' favourites.

To start with, I'm looking for mythology books. I want actual readable stories, rather than narrative novelizations or reference/analyses of the myths.

What are your top five (or top one, if that's all you can come up with) books for mythological stories? Bonus points for anything that doesn't focus exclusively on Greco-Roman myths.

Hmmm...


well I think American Gods by Neil Gaiman, would be number 1 as I remember it the best. Not a re-telling of myths per say but it does have alot of mythological characters in it- including Odin.

Just So Stories by Kipling. I have a wonderfully old copy of these stories and rather love them.

Last Call by Tim Powers- It's like American Gods in that it has a mish mash of mythos.

Sorry that's all I have right now... If I remember more I'll try to find my way back here
