Schneier's Secrets and Lies would probably fit well with Slytherin. Borges's Ficciones is something every Ravenclaw would love. And it's nice and thin so it will fit well on the shelf.

I'm sort of baffled by the inclusion of Herodotus, the "Father of Lies".

A lot of Herodotus' histories have interesting stories about people exhibiting and not exhibiting ancient Greek virtues.
