Absolute all around?
 --too hard to consider this early in my caffine cycle.

Books I pull off the shelf most often --or at least did until I had
them memorized (i.e. books I wouldn't be without)?
  Carpenter's Complete Guide to The SAS Macro Language
  Output Delivery System: The Basics
  SQL Processing with the SAS System (this is the SAS course notes)
  Professional SAS Programmer's Pocket Reference
  The Little SAS book
  Applied Statistics and the SAS Programming Language
  (I know that is 6; pick any 2 of the last 3)

These are all good books, and the set gives me almost total coverage
of all things non-statistical + basic stat stuff

Add:
Survival Analysis Using SAS: A Practical Guide
SAS for Mixed Models
Logistic Regression Using the SAS System: Theory and Application

depending on your needs.
I wish I had a good nonparametric SAS guide. Anyone have suggestions?
