Statistics by Freedman et al. All exercises use real data as cases, I learned a lot more from them!

The sequel to this book -- Statistical Models: Theory and Practice -- and it's accompanying (well, this is how I was encouraged to read them) text -- Statistical Models and Causal Inference: A Dialogue with Social Sciences -- are excellent for intuition building and accumulating a number of examples for personal reference.
Wow, I didn't know there was a sequel, oh what a pleasant surprise!

Statistics already had a lot of useful random trivia and left me with an impression that this is how a good student's resource should look like (my university had a really bad stats course so I had to learn stats myself).

But now you say there is more? Thank you random internet stranger!
