I am in that minority I guess that obsesses over P&S. If you want a recommendation right now, two most influential books I read are, in order:
* Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, that showed me how to calculate various percentages and p values and what does statistical testing really means
* How to Lie with Statistics, that showed me how easily you can manipulate the numbers to get what you want out of them
Another neat one, albeit niche, is Directional Statistics. Turns out, doing stats on angles and directions is less trivial than it sounds!
