If you're looking to read Beowulf anytime soon, you've got to check out this site: Beowulf Translations.net. You can not only sample from a variety of translations, but decide if you prefer reading this great story in poem form or in prose. Even if you choose to read it in prose, this site gives great background into the original poetic form this story was written in.

Excuse me, did I say it was fantastic? It was epic.
