If you're interested in neuroscience am I safe in assuming you're also interested in neuropathology? If this is the case then I strongly recommend you read any books by Oliver Sacks. He is considered the David Attenborough of Neuroscience and has spent his life exploring peculiar neurological disorders. His book "The man who mistook his wife for a hat" is the best starting point and consists of numerous peculiar case studies of patients he has treated over the years. Very easy, yet fascinating read, can't recommend enough.

With regards to more theoretical reading, look into the following people and the theories and research attributed to them, you will most likely learn about these people in detail on your course.
Piaget for Child Development (very interesting stuff)
Bandura for Developmental/Learning/Social
Baddeley for Working Memory
Miller for Cognitive
Milgram for Social Psych
Asche for Social Psych
Good luck and enjoy!
Hi! If you can, let us know a little more about what you think you're interested in already, or what you already know something about. Psychology covers a lot of very different things.
Here are a few broad books which I found interesting before I studied it formally, for if you're not yet sure where to focus:
Anyway, I hope that helps, and let me know if you do have any particular interests, and I'll see what I can think of! Psychology is really great, and I think there's an area of it to keep almost anybody interested.
This reminds me of some of the other real life cases in Oliver Sack's collection below. Well worth a read if you're interested in unusual neurological phenomena.
