So lately I've been getting into Thor, I read the entirety of Aaron's God of Thunder run a few months ago and have recently read a few other Thor runs:

Thor by JMS Omnibus & Thor by Kieron Gillen Ultimate Collecton & Thor: The World Eaters (basically the entirety of Thor vol. 3 followed by Thor 600-621)

The Mighty Thor by Matt Fraction which wasn't as good as I'd come to expect from Fraction after reading his Invincible Iron Man series a couple of years back

Thor by Dan Jurgens (most of Thor vol. 2) currently still reading this, I'm at issue 47 atm

And I'm planning on reading these:

Rest of Thor vol. 2 including the Avengers Disassembled story

Thor: Ragnarok by Roy Tomas and then read the Eternals saga

Walter Simonson's run

Are there are other good runs/story arcs worth a read that I should throw into this list? I don't mind reading silver age comics

You definitely have pretty much all the major arcs/story lines of the past forty years covered, lol! I'm not all that up to speed on the silver age material, though you might want to check out some of one shot stories or mini-series, I see Blood Oath gets a fair amount of recommendation. Of the ones I've read I thought For Asgard was pretty good, though it felt like it was left incomplete and hanging at the end.

Also you can try perusing the "Must read Thor" thread pinned to the top of the Thor board.

If you're carousing through that much of Thor's history, it's worthwhile to get the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Ominbus, both volumes in fact. Thor was a cornerstone of the Marvel universe when Lee and Kirby were working their magic with Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer.

Good choice on both the Dan Jurgens run (criminally overlooked) and the Roy Thomas run (which was his last Marvel story at that time). Both were excellent.

Thor and Loki blood brothers is also a cool read.
