If Heimskringla is the #1 book about kings and significant events of the Viking age, "Sagas of the Icelanders" is the ones about regular people and their amazing lives. This book goes into much greater detail of what it was like for the regular person in the viking age. It tells mainly of the early Icelandic settlers and their families, but also all of the most epic journeys all around Europe and going "a viking."
You will also read about some of the greatest heroes of the viking age including Egil Skallagrimsson, Erik the Red, Leif Erikson(discoverer of N. America), Freydis Eriksdottir, Harald Fairhair, Gisli Sursson, Hrafnkel Freysgodi and many more.
