Lie to Me was one of my favorites as well. I was very disappointed when it was cancelled. But while the exploits of Dr. Lightman and his team are only available in reruns, the real life Paul Ekman (who worked as a consultant on the show) can be followed on Twitter and we can still read his books. I've read two of them. Of the two I highly recommend
Unmasking The Face by Paul Ekman & Wallace V. Friesen. It's a great introduction to his work and highly layman-friendly. I found it to be both enjoyable and informative. The price is more in line with other ebooks as well, something that can't be said for
What the Face Reveals: Basic and Applied Studies of Spontaneous Expression Using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) edited by Paul Ekman and Erika Rosenberg. That tome set me back $41.72, and that was five years ago. It was scholarly, dry, and packed with enough details and figures to make an android nod off. It was most definitely not something intended for the general reader.
