I hate "+1" emails, but this is essentially just that.
"Java Concurrency in Practice" gets my vote as the most important book
to read about Java. I always keep it and "Effective Java" close at
hand. Both of these are references for when you "know some java";
they're not really tutorials.
I haven't read "Thinking in Java", so I can't comment on that one.
