My 5 favorite books on analytics

Here  is a list of my 5 favorite books on Analytics/Econometrics:

1. Applied Statistics and the SAS Programming Language (5th Edition) Cody  and Smith ( Really helped me keep my first job)

2. Econometric Analysis William Greene ( In my mind must for every student of Econometrics)

3.Logistic Regression Using the SAS System: Theory and Application  Paul Allison ( When it comes to teaching applied  work, Paul is the Best. His Survival Analysis book is also great)

4. Web Analytics: An Hour a Day Avinash Kaushik  ( Web Analytics is probably the  fastest growing sub discipline in terms of job specialization, and  Kaushik has a great perspective to share)

5.Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, Second Edition (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) --- Whitten and Frank (  This was a tough one, but chose this because it is a good first book to understand the area)



I would love to  know your favorites. I will bring out a compiled list once I get enough responses.
