Similar to darwin I just finished Jo Nesbo's Coakroaches, the second Harry Hole novel.
The local rotary book sale stared today and I scored this for $3.00
I have read it and have a paperback copy on my shelf but that can be donated now. There are more pictures in this one (including more pictures of him with his pipes and CS Lewis with a pipe as well). Looks like it is a first edition, second printing.

Fiction - Double Indemnity, by James M. Cain
Non-Fiction - Bourbaki: A Secret Society of Mathematicians, by Maurice Mashaal
If you liked the movie adaptation of Cain's novel, the book will not disappoint you.
"I couldn't be mistaken about what she meant, not after fifteen years in the insurance business. I mashed out my cigarette, so I could get up and go. I was going to get out of there, and drop those renewals and everything else about her like a red-hot poker. But I didn't do it. She looked at me, a little surprised, and her face was about six inches away. What I did do was put my arm around her, pull her face against mine, and kiss her on the mouth, hard. I was trembling like a leaf. She gave it a cold stare, and then she closed her eyes, pulled me to her, and kissed me back." [p. 13]
