You guys, I'm looking for book recommendations. What can you point me towards in the way of:

a) your favorite Arthurian-inspired novels
b) your favorite Trojan War-inspired novels
c) good mystery series (= likable hero/heroine with relationships that change and grow from book to book, along with the installments being good books on their own)

I'll second the rec for Chandler, although he's not necessarily the sort one reads for comfort or a good relationship with the characters. Marlowe is very much the sardonic observer of other people's folly, so if you're not up for that, save him for another time.

Also, read The Long Goodbye last, and when you're in a really good mood. It's an elegiac, sorrowful novel. (And probably Chandler's best, but, sorrowful.)
