I suppose How to Lie With Statistics could come in quite handy.

I've had a copy of Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid for about three years and I still haven't finished it - I just have a total mind block with things like that.

I reckon you might actually enjoy the Zimbardo book.

I'd offer to lend you my copy but I am strangely anal about giving people books.

Nothing strange about it. Half of my books are spread around various past and present English Lit students and I don't expect to get them back
