So I just finished pic related and I'm looking for other books I should read to understand Islam. I know there's the Hadith and Sira, but I'm having a hard time finding a good version of those considering there's no one definitive version and I doubt there's been much effort to put out something like an oxford annotated version of these texts. Also looking for some good secondary sources, something that toes the line between apologist and "islam is trying to conquer the world".
Marshall Hodgson's Venture of Islam
Reza Aslan's No God but God
Muhammad by Martin Lings. It is based on the earliest sources.

The Sealed Nectar is seen by many to be a very good book on the life of the Prophet (pbuh) for laymen. Other than that, it's a question of what you're looking for. Sadly, it's difficult to find literature that doesn't fall into extremes.
