Thanks, I'll try to remember that for when I visit the bookstore again.

I picked up a cheap copy of Michael Alexander's translation of Beowulf. I'm still reading the intro, but it looks good so far.

I read a fairly new translation of Beowulf, and I greatly enjoyed it. An excellent story, that one .
