I'm tempted by the AC novels myself as I've always enjoyed the TV series. The Morse novels certainly match my expectations, I expect that the AG novels would exceed those expectations.

“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
I should also be able to squeeze in on my Kindle this weekend the short play Aria da Capo by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1920), the short sci-fi story Arm of the Law (1959) by Harry Harrison, and at least begin Arne: A Sketch of Norwegian Country Life by Bjornstjerne Bjornson (1858).

I would recommend reading The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt ahead of Theodore Rex mainly because it has the author dealing with earlier years of Roosevelt prior to material in Theodore Rex. (And, if I remember correctly, some of those things will be mentioned in Theodore Rex, though not necessarily in as much detail. But it's probably been at least ten years since I read Rex.)
Currently reading The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombe, The Blade Itself was really good and different, currently reading Before They are Hanged
Currently reading The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.
