I don't know any book about malware writing, but I know some books about it's
analysis. Try to read this book. Also you may want to read some books about WinAPI
if you are interested in malware for Windows.
If you want to research distribution ways of a malware (such as worms), you may
want to read about exploits and binary vulnerabilities. In this case I recommend
you to read The Shellcoder's Handbook. Also you can find some useful courses about
it at Coursera.

Another useful method of malware researching is a using of a custom malware lab. I
use Cuckoo sandbox where I can run samples of malicious software. You can get some
malicious samples in theZoo.
Enjoy!

Master some language first then figure out how to bend it to your will...

"Violent Python" is a good one and let's face it, Python rocks. Also the Hacking
Exposed books can teach some core fundamentals. Check out "Hacking Exposed Malware
and Rootkits".

I own multiple Hacking Exposed books and I love them so dearly haha. Also, I've
never really found a definitive answer but why is python so heavily used in making
malicious code?

I can't speak for everyone, but I'll tell you why I use it. It's been around a long
time, and I've been coding for about 19 years. I originally used Python to hack
Verity Ultraseek engines (hack as in redo how they behaved for clients). Then
started using Python as my go to language on servers because, frankly, it was far
easier for me to use than the more popular Perl was at the time. Python is easy to
read, enforces good coding habits and does a lot of great tasks. It's perfect for
generalist work. Its web frameworks probably leave something to be desired as far
as performance goes (Django), but whatever. I write IoT APIs using the
microframework Bottle, and all is good.
Now, there's obviously a plethora of langs out there. I hear even TCL has made a
comeback with the script kiddies lately. I've got experience with TCL, Perl,
PHP, .NET, Java, Ruby (a little bit) and still love Python the most. It's also easy
to get up and running. Some languages aren't. It also comes default installed on a
lot of Linux distros.

python.

The use of programming does not change the nature of programming.
There is no difference between using bolt cutters for legal purposes or illegal
purposes.
Also, do not focus on computer languages. Programming is not about the language.
You do need to use a language, but the language is just a tool. Learning a language
teaches you very little (or worse) about programming.

So what do you personally suggest?

I would recommend you go through SICP completely and understand it all.
Then, I would recommend you study the systems you want to investigate the most. So,
if you are interested in networks, you have to study networks in depth.
Hacking and exploits are all based on an intimate understanding of the system, so
you have to know your tools first, then the systems, and then you can begin to
exploit.
Of course, many malicious software does not require any system knowledge really.
Here is a story of a spyware software writer who had no particular interest or
study of anything other than programming.

You should get a really steady grip on programming, and I'm speaking
philosophically. You should master the principles in your head before trying
anything stupid, like JosephFaolan Said, the language is just a tool. Picture this
as having sex, you'll have to know how make sex first, then you use that little
tool of yours called penis to insert it into the female vagina and make love.
