I'm a software engineer, about a year into a career shift into data science / machine learning. I'd second the majority of the books. Some were new to me. I did a lot of on the job learning, but Intro To Statistical Learning was my first formal treatment of much of the material outside 1:1 mentorship. I wrote my thoughts here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/introduction-statistical-lear...

I'm also halfway through the Deep Learning Book now. I'm really enjoying it. I got turned on to the book because there were a large number of people and reading groups at work (LinkedIn) that had organized around the book when it first came out in the html format a few months ago.
