The Culture and Cognition blog covers the territory where culture and psychology meet, and they've just released their 'reader' which has a list of essential books and papers to cover the interface between anthropology and the cognitive sciences.

Many of the articles are available in full online and the list is a fantastic guide to the area.

It includes both popular and academic texts but the list works best as a reference, so bookmark it as I'm sure you'll be returning to it time and again if you're like me and interested in the cross over between culture and psychology.
