[Sca-cooks] Sagas (was Re: Questions on coffee)

>and someone had to write- and read- all of those sagas.

The sagas were not written by Vikings, but were oral tales, which 
their descendants wrote down up to several hundred years later. 
Vikings used runes for grave markers and memorials, inscriptions on 
various items, and short business memos or letters written on wood or 
birch bark, but not apparently for books..
