Depends on your background and goals.Are you learning programming from scratch or coming to Java from C/C++ ?

"Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel, is a great book.

and it's free to download in PDF format too ->

For a good background in Java I would also recommend a book on the certification exam, such as

"A Programmers Guide to Java Certification - A Programmers Guide" - Khalid A Mughal, Rolf W Rasmussen

Definitely check out the wrox books. They're good for all areas in programming. You can get them from Amazon or your local book store.

You should check out the books published by O'Reily, as I've found them to be very good.
