Gisli Sursson's Saga & Njal's Saga

Gisli's Saga was somewhat difficult to read. The story line involving the love triangle and the reoccurring fate was interesting, however the saga itself was written in a very dry way. It was difficult to keep track of the characters and the story kept switching to different people and stories without a clear transition.
One thing i found interesting was the fact that the vikings could get divorced if they so pleased, and to add to that, the women could choose to get a divorce, not just men.
My favorite part of Njal's Saga was when the berserk came and was challenged to run across the two different fires in order to see which faith was better. He could run right over the heathen fire but the christian fire made him feel like he was burning all over. I was confused in the part following it where it goes on to say how everyone joined in to kill the berserk,...why would they do this?
Finally, one proverb came up in this saga which i found entertaining: it says "A tree does not fall at the first stroke, as the saying goes."
