[off topic?]

There are a few series that I can read over and over. Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout. Travis McGee by John D. MacDonald, and Easy Rawlins by Walter Mosley spring to mind.

Mosley's books are outliers, because Easy changes with time. McGee and Wolfe remain perfect examples of the sort of life most of us dream about.
