The Vinland Sagas

I fund these two sagas very interesting. I found the first saga more interesting though. It definitely seemed more to the point. In the first saga, there is very little delay before people start heading to this new land, which I assume is America. In Eirik the Red's saga, it takes almost three quarters of the saga before they leave. One thing I found funny Eirik's saga, is when he takes back his bedstead boards from Thorgest and they become at odds with one another. In a following scene, Eirik and Thorgest duel, Eirik loses, and then they make peace. This seemed atypical of duels at the time, having a survivor, that is, and then becoming friends of sorts after.
