In addition to great books there are many more books I assign to or advise 
students to read that are more recent publications. My list is very long but 
most focus on critically examining the evidence for some supposedly known (but, 
alas, false) phenomenon, or way of thinking about something.

For example, I am half way through Generation Me and think that all students 
should read it, if only to see how us old folks see them as different from us.

I have recommended that one recently to several students as summer reading.

So maybe, Sue, you can compile from us a list of more recent books that give 
insight into psychology and I'll start the list: (Ha! easy for me to suggest 
someone else do the work!--so please don't see it as putting work off on you; 
you just do this so well!!!!)

Anyway, this is a very abbreviated list just to get started:

Sagan, C. Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Lilienfeld, S. O., Lynn, S. J., Lohr, J. M. Science and Pseudoscience in 
Clinical Psychology
Cialdini, R. Influence : The Psychology of Persuasion
della Salla,  S. Mind Myths
Sapolosy, R. Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers
Shermer, M. Why People Believe Weird Things
Levitt, S. D., & Dubner, S. J. Freakonomics
Wynn, C. M., & Wiggins, A. W. Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction
