Speaking of the Kalevala, I'd recommend it to anybody who hasn't read it. (For whatever my recommendation is worth, that is . . . ) It isn't as well known in the US as some other works, but is very, very good.

Any fans of MST3k may remember an episode where they showed The Day The Earth Froze. That was a psychodelically bad version of the Kalevala (well, one bit of it). I'm not sure if you can really get a feel of the real thing from it, but it is still an interesting bit of trivia.
