Keith Maillard's novel _Gloria_ (1999) draws very heavily (and explicitly) on books 3 and 4.  [log in to unmask])">It was published to a decent amount of critical acclaim, and was nominated for the Canadian Governor-General's Award for literature.  The title character is an American college student in the 1950s who becomes very caught up with Spenser and has a lot of frenzied FQ-inspired dreams en route to discovering her true calling as a poet.
