Christine,
This isn't online or out of copyright, but my favorite novel that touches on
memory is Barbara Kingsolver's Animal Dreams. I've based an essay question in
my cognitive class on this quote from the novel:
Memory is a complicated thing; a relative of truth, but not its twin.

I thought my point about the article in the APS Observer was worth noting:

Someone should tell Gilovich. Or his publisher.

I don't think there is anything conceptually difficult in psych,
I don't know. 2 x 2 factorial designs seem like kindergarten to me but many
students have a hard time with them.
