What textbooks would you recommend for studying set theory? I have already studied linear algebra and calc 1-3 if that makes a difference.

OP won't make it two pages into Kunen. Kunen assumes you have already developed the theory up to ordinals and cardinals.

What is your purpose for learning set theory? Are you just looking to have a working knowledge of it for mathematics or are you trying to learn set theory proper? If the first then just read the first chapter of Munkres Topology book. If the second then Enderton is best.

Enderton: Some intuitive logic background, mostly baby set theory for you to model other stuff as sets https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Set-Theory-Herbert-Enderton/dp/0122384407
Devlin: Plenty of logic, more content than
Enderton's but way harder. https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Sets-Fundamentals-Contemporary-Undergraduate/dp/0387940944
Hrbacek and Jech : Pure set theory, very little logic. https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Revised-Expanded-Chapman-Mathematics/dp/0824779150

Jech : Reference book, very hard, for people extremely into set theory. Takes First Order Logic as a given. https://www.amazon.com/Set-Theory-Thomas-Jech/dp/3540440852
