I'm very interested in cognitive biases, some of the writing in that area has some interesting takeaways on the pitfalls of memory:
- _Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me)_ - Tavris & Aronson
- _Thinking, Fast and Slow_ - Kahneman
Both of these are more "popular science" writing than "solid scientific" writing, however.

However one should know that a lot of the experiments done to corroborate the books arguments are underpowered and people were unable to replicate a bunch of them. So don't take the books ideas too seriously and allow for much more nuance than the arguments allows.
