There's an excellent Google Tech Talk called The Statistical Aspects of Data Mining, which I followed. Even bought the book associated with it!

Thanks, it'll take some time to watch the videos, but I'm guessing Google knows a thing or two about DataMining ;) So It should be worth it

Data mining includes a lot of areas, eg machine learning, algorithms, information retrieval, natural language processing
Here are several books:
IR : http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/information-retrieval-book.html
NLP: http://nlp.stanford.edu/fsnlp/
Machine/Statictical Learning: http://www.amazon.com/Statistical-Learning-Theory-Vladimir-Vapnik/dp/0471030031
Try to google vapnik, chervonenkis, bishop
Neural Nets: http://www.amazon.com/Neural-Networks-Comprehensive-Foundation-2nd/dp/0132733501
Algorithms: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Second-Thomas-Cormen/dp/0262032937
And also you may find nice lectures on http://videolectures.net/
