Before you get too excited about the book list I would like to mention that I'm going to write only Psychology Classics here. To master any subject you have to check out the roots. These books are extremely important for a Psychology major to study. These books would strengthen the way you think and analyze. Reading these books would also help you to distinguish between different theorists and ideas thus enabling you to come up with your unique ideas .
