Books on parent-adult child relationships?

I am in a new stage of parenting adult kids in their 20's. One a senior in college, and 2 in career jobs and all the way across the country. 

I have a good relationship with my parents, but I don't want to stay with them for more than about 3 days. When I was in college they moved and did not set up a room for me. That still hurts. It wasn't done to be hurtful, just an oversight. But I really would like to maintain the great relationship that I had/have with my kids and I know that sometimes they find me annoying. 

Has anyone read any books that have been helpful in paving the way to a new normal? I know that my youngest is in an in-between stage, I really don't "parent" the older 2, except to give advice WHEN ASKED, and to keep in touch. No grandkids yet, and probably not for a while. 

We have moved from the area  where we raised our kids.mSo when they come to visit they don't  have friends to visit. Just us. Then I try to make their visit great, and wear myself out.

All that to say, any good books?

Thank you!
