Hey, someone else who's read Laxness! I don't think I've read
The Fish Can Sing, but I kind of liked
World Light and
Independent People* when I tried them way back during my Nordic authors phase.
Fun fact: Iceland has one of the highest per capita would-be author populations in the world. Apparently at least 30%+ of all Icelanders will at one point try their hand at writing and publishing something, even if it's only an article in a magazine.
* I should probably warn that IP is quite good, but very depressing.
