There are many interesting books and articles about synesthesia. However, several are outstanding for their bredth and ease of reading.

Some of the most popular are The Man Who Tasted Shapes by Richard Cytowic and Synesthesia: Classic and Contemporary Readings by John Harrison, Simon Baron-Cohen, and Ian McDonald. The first book provides an extensive case history of a taste-touch synesthete. While it is less scientific than the second, it is nonetheless and engaging and interesting read. The second book, as the name suggests, is a collection of papers from the last one hundred years on the nature and expression of synesthesia.
