Iliad
Odyssey
Aeneid

Journey to the West. Nothing will beat my days of smoking opium, reading that, and meditating.

paganism does not exist
read Guénon's intro to hinduism for a better starting point

Read Benoist

Myth and Religion of the North by E O G Turville-Petre is worth reading
I don't really care that much about Germanic paganism though
Not sure why you recommend starting with Saxo Grammaticus and then to go Prose Edda

>What are the best books on paganism?
History and esotericism, the occult and spirituality, Eastern religions, parapsychology and mysticism are all very important to understanding Paganism. Ufology is also important to understand religion and spirituality in general.
Here are a few of the best books on the subject
>Napoleon The Great, Andrew Roberts
>Frederick II, Ernst Kantorowicz
>Hitler's Monsters, Erik Kurlander
>Foundations Of Buddhism, Rupert Gethin
>Real Magic, Dean Radin
Myths like the Iliad are important as art, not for literal truths.
I also have other books on my reading list that must be good and important to understand Paganism.
>F.S. Naiden, Soldier, Priest, and God: A Life of Alexander the Great
>S. Young, The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works
>ESP Wars: East & West
>The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries - R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, Carl A.P. Ruck
>J. P. Mallory, The Indo-Europeans Rediscovered - How a Scientific Revolution is Rewriting their Story
Astrology can be valuable so if you're interested here is an excerpt in a book I read that discusses the sources for the scientific evidence for astrology and the skeptic attempts to bring it down.
>See, for example, Michel Gauquelin, Cosmic Influences on Human Behavior (New York: Aurora Press, 1973). For a thorough discussion of the Mars effect, see Suitbert Ertel and Kenneth Irving, The Tenacious Mars Effect (London: The Urania Trust, 1996), and Hans J. Eysenck and David Nias, Astrology: Science or Superstition? (London: Penguin, 1982). For an insider’s account of the scandal of the attempts by the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of the Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) to discredit the Gauquelin results (the account of the scandal was written by one of the committee’s own founding members and chief researchers), see Dennis Rawlins, “sTARBABY,” Fate, No. 32, October 1981 (http://cura.free.fr/xv/14starbb.html). See also John Anthony West, The Case for Astrology (New York: Viking Arkana, 1991), and G. Cornelius, The Moment of Astrology.
