Discuss: What's your favourite book on Data Science?

It could be for any number of reasons! Maybe it generated new opportunities for you, it taught you something valuable, or you just enjoyed it more than any other book. So tell me: what's your favourite book on data science?

I have a lot of favourite books about data science and machine learning, so it's a difficult choice. But if I have to pick only one, would be this one:

Hands-On Machine Learning

The most important reason is the content selection. It covers a lot of algorithms for machine and deep learning.

For me, its R for Data Science. It's the first book I read on the subject, and my introduction to R on my first college course on the subject.

Honorable mention to Bookdown too, even if it's not technically about data science
