If you know of any great books on the subject of these peoples, please share your favorites! I'm having an obsessive moment.

So far on my reading list I have:
- The Lost Language of the Picts (non-fiction linguistic reference text)
- Sky in the Deep (young adult fiction about Vikings)
- Eaters of the Dead (adult fiction about Vikings)

I am especially interested in the Picts but information is hard to come by. I found one book on Amazon that supposedly had religious texts and recipes and chants and all kinds of stuff, but the reviewers said it was 100% fabricated new age nonsense and a little research proved that the culture was pretty much completely decimated and no writings from the Picts has survived. (The linguistic book I mentioned above is largely guesswork but at least people have tried to reconstruct what little archaeologists have uncovered...)
