A recommended reading list
Poisoned Pen is a well-known -- one might even say famous -- book store that specializes in mysteries, thrillers and spy stories.
I won't copy the list here because it's their copyright, but it's only a click away and will open in a separate window. They have it sorted by category, type and period. As it happens, I am <ahem> on the list in the Greek/Roman section.
