But that's literally what Gaiman says in the intro; he's just retelling the stories from the Prose and the Poetic Eddas. I haven't read the Poetic Edda, so there'll at least be a little bit of new stuff for me.
I read the Southern Reach trilogy back to back, so it's all kind of just one weird, but really interesting story to me. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say any more. I can't wait for the movie to come out, I'm really interested to see what they'll do with it

Some of them are more than 20 years old and the pages are turning yellow, so even the local libraries won't accept them as donations. And some of them I loved so much I just have a hard time parting with them, because maybe - just maybe - someday I'll want to read them again. So they linger and age, collecting dust on the shelves. I don't really have anyone to pass them on to.

Anything I enjoy gets passed on to friends on tour when they roll through. Like wise books from the road get traded around town when bands roll through that are friends. It's a really fun way to get new stuff and keep contact with other bands/musicians that you know and like. That's how I ended up with roadside actually
Sometimes I end up in a facebook mailing list where I mail a book to someone random and then receive one from someone else I don't know real well or even know.

I still have stacks that are never going anywhere because of sentimentality/I genuinely will read them again.

Go on eBay/Bnoble/Amazon to see if they are readily available.
If not, keep. If they are, sell to half price books or goodwill (donate).
