I've taken a break from The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil by Philip Zimbardo, which is principally about the Stanford Prison Experiment, to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
The Lucifer Effect is fascinating, and I only bought it because I recently did a 10 credit Exploring Psychology module at University, which looked at obedience and Zimbardo's SPE and Stanley Milgram's obedience test (his book, Obedience to Authority, is next on my list). The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a remarkable book, which really shows how people on the higher end of the ASD spectrum function and think, and the effects it has on those around them.
