I'm looking for some book suggestions to get me started. My understanding of Norse mythology is mostly absorbed from various pop culture derivations and I'd like to get a clearer picture of the source (ideally with attention given to variations). Something in between the explanations that speculate to fill in all the gaps and diving directly into the Eddas myself.
Links would be fine, but I'm more interested in books. The kind of thing they'd make you read in an introductory class, scholarly but for an amateur audience.
