I'm not sure about a megabook kind of deal. I just collect books and articles along the way. I'll just list some of the basics in case you don't have those already.


Books from Skinner:

About Behaviorism

The Behavior of Organisms

Schedules of Reinforcement

Contingencies of Reinforcement

Cumulative Record

Walden 2 - Interesting application of behaviorism, although fiction is not his strongest skillset! A behaviorist actually made a community based off of Walden 2 in Michigan....that's a fun story too! Read a book about that here: http://www.amazon.com/Living-Walden-Two-Behaviorist-Experimental/dp/0252029623/ref=sr_1_68?ie=UTF8&qid=1411460394&sr=8-68&keywords=experimental+behaviorism




Some classic reads:

Premack: Reversibility of the Reinforcement Relation (from Science, 1962)
Toward empirical Behavior Laws - Premack, Psychological review 1959

Response Deprivation - Timberlake & Allison 1974 Psychological Review

The Importance of Herrnstein's Mathematical Statement of the Law of Effect for Behavior Therapy - McDowell, American Psychologist 1982 (This is particularly relevant to your interests!)

The Temporal Triangle: Response Substitution in Instrumental Conditioning - Rachlin & Burkhard 1978 Psychological Review

Economic Concepts for the Analysis of Behavior - Hursh, 1980, Journal of Experimental Analysis of Behavior

Gazmu & Williams - 1971 Science - Classical Conditioning of a Complex Skeletal Response

Rescorla has a ton of relevant articles as well...too lazy to list them all!

Other books I keep handy on the shelf:

Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior by Sara Shettleworth

History of Psychology - David Hothersall
