What I've been reading.

R
Python
SAS
Predictive Modeling with SAS Enterprise Miner: Practical Solutions for Business Applications, 3rd Ed. — Kattamuri S. Sarma, PhD

Ties directly back to my SAS certifications — a practical, business-first approach to predictive modeling rather than a purely theoretical one.

A Gentle Introduction to Statistics Using SAS Studio — Ron Cody, EdD

A low-math, point-and-click way into core statistical concepts. Good for building intuition before wrestling with the harder math.

Statistics
Statistics in Plain English, 5th Ed. — Timothy C. Urdan
Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics Using R — Neil J. Salkind, Leslie A. Shaw
Career / Programming
The Self-Taught Programmer — Cory Althoff

A useful gut-check for anyone building a technical career outside the traditional CS-degree path — the stuff bootcamps and textbooks don't usually cover.
