Yes, psych is very cool!

That's really awesome! I suggest Phantoms in the Brain, by V.S. Ramachandran, M.D., PH.D. It's all about the most interesting case studies in psychology, and how they influenced the field itself. For example, there's a patient who goes blind, but instead of an absence of vision, he sees purely hallucinations. It's really cool. Blink by Malcolm Gladwell is amazing too. It's about the psychology about making quick decisions, and how they can be more accurate than decisions you spend a lot of time making. The other books I have are either info resource or textbooks.
