I'm in the middle of Kolmogorov's little 70 page probability book and it's phenomenal so far, clearest I've ever read on the subject. Also in the middle of Dirac's little General Relativity book, again phenomenal. Dip into Milnor's Topology from the Differentiable Viewpoint every now and again as well, not bad - what other great tiny (< 100 pages) hard math/physics books are there?
