hoo hum,
 
you know, sometimes learning another relevant, awesome old germanic language can be a good starter! have you thought about first learning old english? there are obviously more points at which Old English and modern English overlap than Old Norse with modern English (though they are all Germanic). there's also alot more pedagological material for learning Old English. check out the Northvegr website and google books for grammars and primers.
 
unless you can find something that's laid out like a classic langauge textbook with exercizes (Bright's Old English Grammar and Reader 3rd Edition and Pollington's First Steps in Old English' come to mind), you'll have to get used to reading grammars.
 
if you really want to get to norse as quick as possible, many people start off learning modern Icelandic (which is almost the same as Old Norse/ Old Icelandic). I'd recommend "Learning Icelandic" by Mal og Mening, Reykjavik:2001. Most other books are just primers with thick grammars like all the other books you will encounter.
 
good luck!
