J.R.R. Tolkien was influenced by Norse mythology in a lot of ways. One very small influence was that some of his character names come from Norse myths. For example, Durin (an ancestral leaders of Tolkien's dwarves) and Gandalf are the names of mythical Norse dwarves.
There is not a singular novel by JRR Tolkien, as he wrote many. A few that I can name off the top of my head, (And that I love) Are The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Hobbit, and Unfinished Tales. I'm sure I missed a lot.
