First Lines: Josephine Tey - Brat Farrar
'Aunt Bee,' said Jane, breathing heavily into her soup, 'was Noah a cleverer back-room boy than Ulysses, or was Ulysses a cleverer back-room boy than Noah?'

New Stuff: Twin Peaks. Season 1 (1990)

New Stuff: Theoder W. Adorno
I do have (and have read) most of his works in various editions, but this is a nice hardcover edition of his main works.

With no legal means left to him, a high school teacher devises a daring plan to rescue his wrongfully imprisoned wife from jail.
Unusual, above-average thriller that solidly keeps its focus on the plot and its main characters.
New Stuff: Jules Verne
Written in 1863 but first published 131 years later (1994), the novel follows a young man who struggles unsuccessfully to live in a technologically advanced, but culturally backwards world. Often referred to as Verne's "lost novel", the work paints a grim, dystopian view of a technological future civilization.
