Beowulf

I have just finished reading the Old-English epic Beowulf, in translation. Tolkien got many of his ideas out of it, not to mention names, such as Eomer.

Has anyone read it?

Sorry, I just realized there is already a thread like this under General Literature. I will search threads better before posting a new one next time. Apologize for the inconvience, thingol. Could someone please close this thread?
