Find below are the few good Java books depedning on your skill level.  I thought there are good once.  Use the comments sections if you know of any.

Java Books for the First-Time Programmer

• Java: An Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch (© 2003, ISBN: 0131013785). This is probably my favorite of the books in this group. It includes a whole chapter on primitive types in Java, plus sections or chapters on Java's approach to loops, conditionals, strings, and the like. The book also has several chapters on objects and one on HTML.
• Problem Solving With Java by Elliot B. Koffman and Ursula Wolz(© 2002, ISBN: 032115486X). This book covers both Java syntax basics (loops, arrays, conditionals) and general programming strategies (object-oriented design, recursion, some simple data structures).
• Introduction to Programming Using Java: An Object-Oriented Approach by David M. Arnow and Gerald Weiss (© 2003, ISBN: 0321200063). Like the other books in this category, this book has sections on loops, conditionals, and recursion. But the distinguishing characteristic is the book's focus on objects, introducing basic OO concepts in Java even before the other basic topics.

Java Books Assuming Some Programming Background

• Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel (© 2002, ISBN: 0131002872). The gentlest of the books in this category; it sort of straddles this and the previous category (Java books for first-time programmers).
• Just Java 2 : J2SE 1.5 Edition (includes Swing coverage!) by Peter van der Linden (© 2004, ISBN: 0131482114). Definitely the most entertaining reading of any of the Java books. Downright enjoyable. Aims at a bit more of an advanced audience than the other books in this category, though.
• Java How to Program Sixth Edition. by Deitel and Deitel (© 2005, ISBN: 0131483986). Java programming tutorial book aimed at an undergraduate audience. Careful development of the fundamental topics, but early introduction of applets and event listeners may be a bit confusing to Java beginners. The Java 1.5 version includes introductions to Swing and Java servlets and JDBC.
