I'm currently reading Micheal Grant's "From Alexander to Cleopatra: The Hellenistic World" Great read so far.(I'm at the Ptolemies) But don't expect a strait through chronological telling of the era.
He instead starts with an intro chapter that pretty much sums up the time period rather frankly,(I skipped it since I knew the general story.)and then goes into more detail about the actual life-styles of the Hellenistic peoples with the rest of the book.
It may feel alittle outdated re-search wise for some of our more "enlightened" members but for the rest of us it's a good summary of the successors. Especially considering how hard it is to find books about that period elsewhere.

I'm also reading "A Peace to End All Peace" and wrapping up Bernard Cornwall's "The Last Kingdom".
