I always recommend people start with How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff and/or Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan. It’s good to get a broad overview of statistics and how they can be manipulated. Read before taking a university level course or delving into a meatier book. 

 taking an actual uni course this semester, which is why i am looking for any supporting materials 💜🤗
