As you probably know, I live in the Portland, Oregon area and have for many years. One of the must-visit places here is Powell’s Books. The book links in this post will all take you to Powell’s as part of their Partner Program. If you’d like to join the program too, here’s the link.

Updated September 7, 2011: I recently purchased a Kindle, and quite a few of these books are now available in that format. For those that are, I’ve tweeted my Amazon Affiliate links out and have embedded those tweets here.

Updated May 18, 2010: There is an interesting discussion happening on LinkedIn about this subject, and quite a few links to data mining and predictive analytics resources have been posted there. So here’s the link. Enjoy! @znmeb

I’m a big fan of the R programming language, especially for data visualization. The following books are all books that I own and recommend.

That's a lot of books, Ed;
If you had to recommend just one or two, which would make the cut?

  It depends on where you are and where you want to go. I'd start with "Software for Data Analysis." If you're reasonably familiar with basic statistics, go with "Modern Applied Statistics With S". And for data visualization, I'd recommend getting the first three in the list.

Great list. Watch for the upcoming 'R in Action' from Manning, too.

  Hmmm … I'm on their list of reviewers and I didn't see that one go by. I'd love to review it!
